teeth.

V. ANSWER IN DETAIL

1. Describe the basic structure of a tooth.

Ans:

⮚ A tooth has two parts—crown and root.

⮚ The part of the teeth which is visible is the crown.

⮚ The root is the part hidden inside the gum.

⮚ Gum is the pink, fleshy part that holds the tooth.

⮚ The crown of each tooth is covered with enamel, which is hard, tough, and often
 shiny.

⮚ Below the enamel is the dentine, which is like a bone.

⮚ It is the largest part of the tooth and is very hard.

⮚ Inside the dentine is the pulp.

⮚ The pulp is very soft and is full of nerves and blood vessels.

3. Why do we need to brush our teeth regularly?

Ans:

⮚ We need to brush our teeth regularly because taking care of teeth is very important.

⮚ We should clean our teeth after we eat as tiny bits of food get stuck in the spaces

between our teeth.

⮚ If teeth are not cleaned, germs grow and form a sticky yellow layer on them. This is

called plaque.

⮚ It causes cavities and bad breath.

⮚ Proper cleaning of teeth with toothbrush, toothpaste, and water removes plaque

DO YOU KNOW?
1) The study of teeth is known as odontology. Odontology also studies the surrounding
tissues of the teeth along with the prevention and cure of the related diseases.
Odontologists research the growth and disorders, as well as the structure of teeth.

2) A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the
inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and
sealed. Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root
canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth.

Here are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal-

 Severe pain while chewing or biting

 Pimples on the gums
 A chipped or cracked tooth
 Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
 Swollen or tender gums
 Deep decay or darkening of the gums

3) BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is a 5-years undergraduate program and the only
approved professional dental course in India. Students become doctors after the BDS
course. It is a compulsory course for students aspiring to work as dentists at
government or private hospitals. BDS mainly focuses on training and introducing
students to the dental sciences and surgeries. The 5-year program involves 4 years of
classroom education and 1 year of compulsory rotating internship.

NEET - National Entrance cum Eligibility Test is the only gateway for admission into MBBS
and BDS courses throughout India. So, you can't get admission without NEET.

4. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

you should replace a manual toothbrush every three to four months.
