What else can I help you with?
The enamel on your teeth is harder than any bone in your body?
Yes, the enamel on your teeth is indeed harder than any bone in your body. Enamel, which is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, has a high mineral content that gives it exceptional hardness and resilience, making it well-suited to withstand the forces of chewing. While bones are strong and can withstand various stresses, their structure allows for some flexibility, which makes them less hard than enamel. This hardness is crucial for enamel's role in protecting the teeth from decay and wear.
What is the difference between enamel and dentin?
Dentin is the substance making up the main part of a tooth, while the enamel is the substance covering the the visible part of an anatomical crown in a thin layer. Inside the tooth, well protected by the dentin, is the pulp chamber and the root canals - the nerve of the tooth.
Can you fix enamel on teeth?
While you can never restore your tooth enamel back to its original form, you can restore some of it by the use of fluoridated mouthwash, like ACT. Fluoride catalyzes the diffusion of calcium and phosphate into the tooth surface, which in turn remineralizes the crystalline structures in a dental cavity and damaged tooth surfaces.
Function of stellate reticulum?
The stellate reticulum is a layer of cells found in the enamel organ of developing teeth. It acts as a protective cushion between the outer enamel epithelium and the inner enamel forming cells. Additionally, it helps in the movement of nutrients and waste products within the enamel organ during tooth development.
How do you use eggshell to test effects of liquids on teeth?
Eggshells like teeth have a lot of calcium in them. If some substance erodes away an eggsheel, then it can have a bad effect on tooth enamel as well.
What substance are teeth made from?
What tooth enamel is made of pretty much depends on who you ask. Some experts say, "Enamel's primary mineral is hydroxyapatite", to which I disagree because how could they know the enamel's composition if they can't even get the correct word usage right? Hydroxyapatite is the incorrect use of the word, "hydroxyL-apatite" (capital letter and hyphen used for clarification) but that is not what tooth enamel is made of either according to others who say, "tooth enamel is calcium hydroxy phosphate". Other so called experts [who claim that Fluoride (a corrosive toxic poison) is good for you] say that the tooth enamel's strength is "enhanced by the formation of fluoroapatite, a naturally occurring component of tooth enamel". This is also a lie because Fluoroapatite (more correctly spelled fluorapatite), is a natural calcium halophosphate or fluorinated calcium phosphate mineral that is mined from the earth for the making of phosphate fertilizer. Fluorine (used in some Freon) and Hydrofluosilicic acid (used to fluoridate drinking water and ther industrial applications) are both highly toxic and dangerous and are liberated from the natural mineral Fluorapatite. Fluorapatite is not a "naturally occurring component of tooth enamel". Still others argue that tooth enamel is, "calcium phosphate" (I agree) while other experts say enamel is, "composed of approximately 28% organic matter and 72% inorganic (calcium)", which is a vague but some-what true response although I have to plead ignorance on the actual percentages of calcium phosphate in the enamel. Everyone agrees that under the enamel is what's called, "dentin" but as for what the enamel is - well that depends on who your asking and whether or not they are trying to promote the fluoride myth. You see if they can get you to believe that your teeth "already contain naturally occurring fluoroapatite" (which they do not), then what's the harm in adding a little more fluoride to strengthen them? From the research and knowledge that I have come to find, my best answer is that tooth enamel is basically composed of calcium phosphate mineral but not hydroxylapatite.
How does acid destroy your teeth?
Acid can wear away tooth enamel by dissolving its mineral content. This process is known as dental erosion and can weaken the protective layer of the teeth, leading to sensitivity, decay, and eventual tooth loss. Regular consumption of acidic foods and drinks, as well as conditions like acid reflux, can contribute to tooth erosion.
Darwin noticed that many organisms seemed well suited to?
Well suited to their environment.
What is hardest part of the human beings?
The hardest part of being human is often the emotional challenges we face, such as dealing with loss, heartbreak, or mental health issues. Managing our emotions, relationships, and expectations can be incredibly difficult and can take a toll on our well-being.
What is the visible portion of the tooth in situ?
enamel
What primer do you use for enamel paint?
Use an enamel undercoater. It covers well and is easy to sand to perfection.
What+is+the+best+tooth+whitening+product+for+sensitive+teeth%3F?
Sensodyne now makes a whitening paste that works well and is also very easy on sensitive teeth-most of their toothpastes have the added benefit of helping to build the enamel back up very well.
