A tooth (plural teeth) is a undersized, calcified, whitish structure found in the jaws (or mouths) of various vertebrates and occupied to defeat down food. Some animals, particularly carnivores, also exercise teeth for the purpose hunting or in place of defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered nearby gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but fairly of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.
The unrestricted structure of teeth is be like across the vertebrates, although there is sizeable converting in their fabric and position. The teeth of mammals be struck by deep roots, and this figure is also found in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, however, the teeth are spoken for to the outer outwardly of the bone, while in lizards they are attached to the inner come up of the jaw alongside one side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are seconded around rough ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that type the jaw.
