The rest of each tooth is hidden beneath your gums, which is why gum care is extremely important! The crown of your tooth is the name for the part that is visible.

The winter solstice takes place once a year in the Northern Hemisphere and once a year in the Southern Hemisphere, and for us, it always falls on either Dec. 21 or 22. When one hemisphere is undergoing the winter solstice, the other is experiencing the summer solstice.
