Various - but I guess you are after the mineral portion - thus Calcium

Second Answer from an editor: Your bones are made of osteoclast which include calcium. Your teeth are made of dentin and that has calcium in it too. When you get cavities germs and bacteria can invade and erode the dentin and it is not replaceable as bones can regenerate new bone osteoclast cells. That is what causes bone fracture re-fusing. Too bad teeth cannot regenerate dentin.

Is your teeth a bone?

No. Teeth are made of Dentin. Dentin supports the enamel on your teeth. It's a yellow bone-like material that's softer than enamel and carries some of the nerve fibers that tell you when something is going wrong inside your tooth. But it's still not bone, just bone-like. And on the outside is that harder than bone material, enamel.
