What are your teeth made out of?!


Question:

What are your teeth made out of?


Answers:

A tooth is not at all a bone and it is not even really like bone. Teeth are made by cells called ameloblasts and odontoblasts. The main mineral content is called "hydroxyapatite," which is a form of calcium crystal.

If you put the following words in any search engine, you will get thousands of references telling about how teeth are formed:

ameloblast, odontoblast, (osteogenesis -imperfecta)
