What is: teeth?

Teeth are small, calcified, whitish structures found in the jaws of many vertebrates that are used to break down food. Some animals, particularly carnivores, also use teeth for hunting or for defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered by gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.

john: After filling (tooth-colored filling) two teeth, they have become somewhat sensitive to pressure. To make them heal faster, should I avoid using them, or should I try to use them as much as I can tolerate?
