the tooth which is visible above the gums is called the crown.
the uppermost layer is the enamel. then a very hard layer called dentine which protects the underlaying oulsp cavity . this contains nerves and blood vessels.
the lower tooth is divided into 2 or 3 roots depending upon the type of the tooth.
the roots contain a hard cementum which separates the root from the periodontal ligament, which in turn holds the root in place and cushions the tooth against the gum and jaw during the grinding, jarring activity of chewing.

I'm still in the middle class and struggling like everyone else so I think that is just a tall tale!

Your teeth are fixed to your jawbone in your mouth. They sit in a curved line along your top and bottom jaws. The white part of your tooth that you can see when you smile or open your mouth is called the crown. Some of your tooth is hidden under the skin (gum) in your mouth. This is called the root and you cannot see this in your mouth. The white covering on your tooth is called enamel. Dental enamel is strong and helps to protect the tooth.
