Because you have no teeth.

What is an alveolar bone?
An alveolar ridge is a ridge which forms the borders of the maxilla and mandible, and contains the alveoli of the teeth.
What bone contains sockets of upper teeth?
Mandible and mAxilla
What are the extensions of the bone of the body of the mandible and maxilla that contains the tooth sockets of the teeth?
periodontium
What type of joint is held together by connective tissue strands?
Fibrous joints are connected by collagen fibers. There are three types of fibrous joints in the human body: sutures between the skull bones, syndesmoses (distal articulation of tibia and fibula) and gomphoses (articulations of teeth in jaw bones). The only gomphoses in the human body are the attachment of the roots of the teeth in the sockets of the alveolar processes of the lower-jaw (mandible) and upper-jaw (maxillae).
What are the names of the bones in a dogs skeleton?
There are a lot of bones in the human skeleton. Because of this, they are divided into two categories; the appendicular skeleton and the axial skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the cranium, the vertebra column and the rib cage. The appendicular skeleton consists of limbs such as the arms legs and the pelvic cavity. Here are a few bones in the human body: Cranium - Skull Orbit - Eye Sockets Mandible - Jaw Scapula - Shoulder Blades Clavicle - Collar Bone Sternum - Breastbone Humerus - The Arm Radius - The larger bone in the forearm Ulna - The smaller bone in the forearm Femur - Thighbone Tibia - The larger of the bones in your shins Fibula - The smaller of the bones in the shins These are the basic bones in the human skeleton. There are a lot more names for the bones. For example, the sternum has three parts and can be called by its individual sections.

What bone contains sockets of upper teeth?

What are tooth sockets lined with?
The alveolar process (alveolar bone) is the thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth sockets (dental alveoli) on bones that hold teeth. In humans, the tooth-bearing bones are the maxillae and the mandible.[3]
Bone that holds teeth?
The maxillae (right and left maxilla bones) have sockets called alveolar processes in which the root of the teeth are inserted.
What contains sockets for teeth?
Maxilla
What bone contains sockets upper teeth?
Maxilla
What is the name for the sockets of the teeth?
alveolar process
What type of bone is the maxilla?
It is classed as an irregular bone because of the shape.
Where in the human mandible do you find immature bone?
Tooth Sockets (Lamina Dura)
What is the alveolar ridge?
An alveolar ridge (/ælˈvi.ələr/; also known as the alveolar margin) is one of the two jaw ridges either on the roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth. The alveolar ridges contain the sockets (alveoli) of the teeth. They can be felt with the tongue in the area right above the top teeth or below the bottom teeth. Its surface is covered with little ridges. Sounds made with the tongue touching the alveolar ridge while speaking are called alveolar consonants. Examples of alveolar consonants in English are, for instance, [t], [d], [s], [z], [n], [l] like in the words time, dawn, silly, zoo, nasty and lollipop. There are exceptions to this however, such as speakers of the New York Accent who pronounce [t] and [d] at the back of their teeth. When pronouncing these sounds the tongue touches ([t], [d], [n]), or nearly touches ([s], [z]) the upper alveolar ridge which can also be referred to as gum ridge. In many other languages these same consonants are articulated slightly differently, and are often described as dental consonants. In many languages consonantsare articulated with the tongue touching or close to the upper alveolar ridge. The former are called alveolar plosives, and the latter alveolar fricatives.
Are the joints in the tooth sockets freely movable?
Although there are many joints in the skull, most are fused or immovable. The only bone that is free moving is the mandible, the lower jaw. The joints that connect the tooth to the socket are gomphosis joints, which allow little to no movement.
