Oral anatomy

2. Surface toward the tongue (mandibular teeth).
4. Cheek teeth used for grinding.
5. the part of the tooth between crown and root located at the gum line
7. the covering over the crown of the tooth and the hardest substance in the body
12. the fleshy part in the center of a tooth comprised of soft tissue, cells, blood vessels and nerve endings
16. The chewing surface of the tooth.
17. inflammation of the gingiva
21. Surface toward the lips (used for incisors).
22. tooth decay with demineralization of enamel and dentin (relatively rare in dogs)
25. The space between adjacent teeth.
26. alignment of the teeth (the way the teeth fit together)
27. The surface of a tooth facing toward the midline of the dental arch.
28. Short, wide head (e.g., Pug).
31. The surface of a tooth facing away from the midline of the dental arch.
32. Toward the crown.
33. The part of the tooth above the gum line.

1. Long, narrow head (e.g., Greyhound
3. common oral tumors, some of which are benign tumors of the periodontal ligament, some of which are a locally aggressive and highly invasive neoplasm
6. Front teeth used for cutting.
8. improper alignment of the teeth
9. The upper jaw bone.
10. Surface toward the cheeks (used for premolars/molars).
11. Medium-shaped head (e.g., Labrador).
13. Tearing teeth. one of the four largest, single-rooted teeth. They are relatively long and pointed and are sometimes called "fangs."
14. Lesion: common, painful "cavity" lesion often found at the neck of the tooth in cats. Also known as "neck lesions" or "cervical line lesions."
15. Toward the root tip.
18. The lower jaw bone.
19. the socket that surrounds and supports the root of the tooth
20. The gum tissue surrounding the teeth.
23. Surface toward the palate (maxillary teeth).
24. baby teeth that will fall out, replaced by the adult dentition
29. The part of the tooth below the gum line.
30. the part of the tooth visible above the gum line
