This refers to the shallow moat located at the base of a tooth and is the site of actual epithelial attachment of the gums

This fluid resides in the gingival sulcus and contains immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies that help prevent mouth ulcers

This refers to a bony substance that covers the tooth roots and is the sight of attachment for the periodontal ligaments

Cementum can self regenerate to some degree because of these cells

These hold the tooth in place but allow slight movement and prevent complete removal if struck

This bone forms the gomphosis or socket where the tooth sits in

These bones house the incisors

This can occur if a certain drug is given to the dam during gestation or to a puppy before the where a yellow tinge is noted on the deciduous teeth of the puppies from the dam and on the permanents of the puppy

This refers to a tooth that has broken to where  the pulp cavity is exposed
