Teeth - the hardest bone in the human body
Teeth may be tough and considered as the hardest bone in the body that is able to withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure per square inch. Many do not pay much attention to them until there is a problem and the dreaded tooth extraction becomes the only option. Teeth are continuously renewed and fluoride plays an important part in assisting the re-crystallization of teeth as they are immersed in fluoride in water and toothpaste we use everyday.
The hardest bone in the body, teeth has one weakness in a sense that there are only two sets of these in a person�s lifetime. One emerge when they are young, called baby teeth or milk teeth to some, they fall out and are replaced by permanent or adult teeth usually in the first 15 years of life. So having a child with missing teeth isn�t such a bad deal but the coming of the new permanent teeth should be managed properly or else they could be lost for all time. Bacteria feeding on food produce chemicals and acids that weaken the outer tough shell of teeth making them vulnerable to decay. Once the tooth begins to ache it is a sure sign that they problem has reached the area of the root or nerve and if not treated early by a dentist can spell the loss of the said teeth.
