A healthy tooth is held firmly in the Jawbone by the periodontal ligament.

  The periodontal ligaments serve as substances that provide mechanical strength, stability, and support to the tooth. They serve as a proper connecting network between the alveolar bone and the cementum of the root.

  In addition, they also have shock absorption and sensory function that provides protection to the tooth. They are facilitated with a number of nerve endings that works as the receptors for pain.
