I am not 100% sure about all of the chemicals in the tooth, but i think the main ones are Calcium, this is used to give the strength to the tooth, Hydroxyapatite, when this is mixed with another chemical/mineral it becomes Calcium. I'm not sure about the mineral that mixes with hydroxyapatite, sorry!
