    You know how human teeth have those prong bits that anchor into the gums, the “root”? Inside those are the nerve canals: spaces filled with a pulp that nerve endings run through.

    Shark teeth don’t have these canals in their root. Their teeth aren’t anchored into the gums and don’t connect to any nerve endings.
