A tooth consists of two main structures:
Crown. This is the part of your tooth that you can see — the portion above your gums. Enamel — a hard, protective substance — covers your tooth crown. Root. This is the part of your tooth that holds it in your jaw. You can’t see the root because your gums cover it.
