Toof

Toof is a common term referring to a tooth, one of the hard, calcified structures found in the jaws of many vertebrates. These structures are used for biting, chewing, and tearing food. In humans, teeth are essential for digestion, speech, and facial aesthetics. The typical human dentition includes incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, each adapted for specific functions. Teeth are composed of several layers, including enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting the inner layers. Dentin forms the bulk of the tooth, while cementum covers the root. The pulp, located in the center, contains nerves and blood vessels. Dental hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, are crucial for maintaining tooth health and preventing issues like cavities and gum disease. Regular dental check-ups are also recommended to ensure proper oral health.
