	Your Teeth
		Wisdom teeth are an asset to the mouth when they are healthy and properly positioned.
		Wisdom teeth may grow sideways, get stuck under adjacent teeth, emerge only part way from the gum or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone, develop cysts and cause other kinds of problems.
		Teeth that are crooked or out of place (misaligned) affect the way a person chews and talks and how their smile looks.

	Teeth - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Teeth are the body’s hardest, most durable organ—long after bones and flesh have dissolved, archaeologists find well-preserved teeth from humans and other animals that lived thousands of years ago.
		Teeth also play a role in human speech—the teeth, lips, and tongue are used to form words by controlling airflow through the mouth.
		Teeth on the right side of each jaw are usually identical to the teeth on the left side and matching teeth on opposite sides are referred to as sets, or pairs.

	Tooth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is true that teeth are attached to the underlying bone of the jaw (via a ligament called the periodontal ligament), though the teeth themselves have no bone component to them.
		Unlike bone, the teeth are made up of constituents that are specialised to resist the harsh environment of the oral cavity, and withstand the large forces imposed upon them by mastication, or chewing.
		It is worth noting that the third molars (wisdom teeth) are the final teeth to erupt in the human dentition (usually at around the age of 20).

	Dental Health: Wisdom Teeth
		Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties.
		Teeth that remain partially or completely entrapped within the soft tissue and /or the jawbone are termed "impacted." Wisdom teeth that only partially erupt allows for an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause an infection, which results in pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, and general illness.
		Partially erupted teeth are also more prone to tooth decay and gum disease because their hard-to-reach location and awkward positioning makes brushing and flossing difficult.

	Teeth in Mammals
		Teeth are heavy and require considerable muscle to operate efficiently, this has made an important contribution to the evolution of the mammal skull.
		Teeth are seated in the jawbones and held in place by a special cement which is another form of bone.
		Most teeth stop growing once they reach a adult size and the cavity in the bottom of the tooth seals up, but some teeth like the incisors of rodents or the molars of sheep keep growing as they are worn down.

		In the tribosphenic teeth of the upper jaw, the three main cusps are the protocone, paracone, and metacone.

	teeth whitening, teeth bleaching, teeth whiteners
		Teeth whitening (also referred to as "teeth bleaching") utilizing at-home tray-based teeth whitening products has become the most popular way for dentists to help their patients obtain whiter smiles.
		At-home tray teeth whitening can be a safe and effective way for a person to bleach their teeth, but it is important for anyone choosing to utilize this type of system to realize that essentially all of their whitening treatments will be performed on their own, with absolutely no direct supervision by a dental professional.
		Because of this, anyone bleaching their teeth must be certain that the specific whitener they are using is safe, and that they know how to use this product in an appropriate manner.

	Dog Owner's Guide: Canine Teeth
		The teething period can be frustrating; the puppy clamps his mouth on everything he can reach, from body parts to Johnny's $80 sneakers, in an attempt to relieve the discomfort.
		When permanent teeth erupt in the lower jaw of an overshot bite, they may damage the soft tissue in the roof of the mouth.
		Since puppy teeth serve as a primary tool for examining their environment, for greeting pack members, and for testing the pack hierarchy, and since puppies also grab things to relieve the discomfort of teething, some early lessons in bite inhibition are necessary.

	Patient's Guide to Wisdom Teeth
		Other commonly sited justifications for the removal of wisdom teeth like the potential for them to cause cysts, tumors, or cancer or the potential for them to cause crowding and shifting of the other teeth in the mouth are highly suspect.
		Wisdom teeth are removed primarily to eliminate the potential for infection and damage to adjacent teeth.
		Remember, the jaws of most individuals are not large enough to accommodate the wisdom teeth and they remain either under the gum tissue where they have a three to five percent chance of becoming cystic or they become partially exposed where they have a much, much greater potential for becoming infected.

	Health - Rabbit Dental Disease
		All of the rabbit's teeth grow continuously throughout its life to compensate for the pronounced wear created by long periods of chewing on abrasive foods.

		If the teeth are broken (most typically the incisors) and they grow in at an improper angle, it will throw off the anatomy of the mouth and lead to multiple tooth problems.

	The Teeth
		The gum tissues are rich in blood vessels, receiving branches from the alveolar arteries; these vessels, called alveolar from their relationship to the alveoli dentales, or tooth sockets, also supply the teeth and the spongy bone of the upper and lower jaws, in which the teeth are lodged.
		Humans, who are omnivores (eaters of plants and animal tissue), have teeth that belong, functionally and structurally, somewhere between the extremes of specialization attained by the teeth of carnivores and herbivores.
		Teeth are formed from the skin, the enamel originating from the outer layer or epidermis and the inside of the tooth from the dermis.
