Chalk and teeth both contain calcium carbonate. In chalk, calcium carbonate is the main mineral component, while in teeth, it is a major component of the enamel. Both chalk and teeth can be affected by acids, which can erode the calcium carbonate present in them. Additionally, both chalk and teeth can be strengthened through processes such as remineralization in teeth and compacting in chalk.
