Enamel: The hard outer layer of Crown. Enamel is the hardest substance in the body.

Dentin: Not as hard as enamel, from the bulk of the tooth and can be sensitive if the protection of the enamel is lost
Pulp: soft tissue containing the blood nerve supply to the tooth. The pulp extends from the crown to the tip of the root.  

Nerves and blood vessels: Each tooth and periodontal ligament has a nerve supply and the teeth are sensitive to a wide  variety of stimuli. The blood supply is necessary to maintain the vitality of the tooth.  

Crown: cold


Neck: Little teeth

root: blood tooth
