Relating to both the alveolus (tooth socket) and the tooth itself; involving the connection between bone and tooth.
From alveolus + dental (from Latin dens, tooth). A compound anatomical term describing the tooth-bone interface.
The alveolodental junction is where specialized fibers called the periodontal ligament connect your teeth to bone—it's like nature's shock absorber, letting you bite down with force without cracking your teeth or breaking your jaw.
