OK, technically they are ectodermal organs. The nerve endings of the teeth may seem useless, but they are responsible for triggering an alert signal that prevents mechanical damage to the teeth, differentiating between hard and soft or hot and cold elements. Above all, they signal an urgency to the brain.
One small thing I disagree there: a good dentist will evaluate the health of a tooth nerve when exposed. If it is infected, the tooth needs to be replaced, but if its healthy, with a lot of care, you can fill the cavity after a thorough cleaning

Random removal of organs should be avoided.
Nerves pass through teeth from muscles to internal organs for reasons

Bones are also organs.
Why else have nerves? We assume only to cause pain at our peril.
