A human tooth is divided into three main parts: the crown, the neck, and the root. The crown is the part that is visible in the mouth, and is covered by enamel, the hardest protective layer in the body. Beneath the enamel is dentin, a hard tissue that is less hard than enamel. The innermost part of the tooth is the pulp, which contains the nerves and blood vessels that nourish the tooth.
