AnatomyEach tooth consist of two parts: the ‘crown’ , which is the portion visible within the mouth, and the ‘root’, which is the part embedded within the jaw-bone. The roots of the teeth are usually longer than the crowns. Front teeth have only one root, while those placed further back generally have two or three roots. The major structural element of a tooth is composed of a calcified tissue known as dentine. Dentine is a hard bone-like material which contains living cells. It is a sensitive tissue and gives the sensations of pain when stimulated either thermally or by chemical means.

May husband always teases me about my cooking. I would like to try new recipes, but have lost confidence. What should i do?

He has probably got into a habit he is unaware of. Pick a suitable time-when he isn’t teasing, and you are both feeling particularly close-and explain your feelings and how you need his encouragement. Perhaps you could do some cooking together. The most effective way to stop his teasing is to get him to understand that there‘s more to cooking than has met his eye!
