Are you're teeth connected by bone or just gums and root?

Question

(domestic dispute!)

Answer 1

The teeth have roots which go below your gums and into bone. In the case of the bottom row of teeth they go into your lower jaw bone,

If you lightly press your lower teeth from outside of your mouth, you will feel the teeth. If go further down you will feel you gums and for the remainder of the way down to your chin is the jaw bone.

How far down into the jaw bone they go, depends on the length of the actual root.

Answer 2

only impacted teeth (Teeth which have not come out of the gum) MAY be covered by bone. this usually applies to wisdom teeth. your other teeth are only connected by gum an root.  

Answer 3

The roots of your teeth sit in the bone.  They are not connected to each other.  The nerves and blood vessels run through the bone and then branch off to each tooth.  The gum covers the bone and the top of the tooth emerges from the bone with the gum surrounding it.

Answer 4

Your tooth is made up of 2 parts: the crown and the root.  The crown is what you see when you open your mouth.  The root is underneath the gum and bone.  Your teeth is supported by both the gums via ligaments and the bone.  Pretty much it.

Answer 5

root and gum.
