Definition
The plexus dentalis, or dental plexus, is a network of nerves that provides sensation to your teeth and surrounding structures like the gums π¦·. Think of it as the 'sensory network' for your mouth. It's what allows you to feel temperature, pressure, and pain in your teeth. This is why you can feel if something is too hot or cold or if you have a cavity π₯Ά. It's a critical part of your oral sensory experience. Without it, you wouldn't be able to detect problems with your teeth until they became severe π€.
