What is the function of dentine in a mammalian tooth?
It is one of the 4 components of the mammalian tooth and is to be found just beneath the hard enamel outer layer or in ridges between ridges of hard enamel. Being softer than the enamel, in herbivores (like the elephant) the dentine wears away faster ensuring that the roughness of the tooth surface is maintained as the tooth itself wears away. In omnivores and carnivores, it mechanically supports the enamel surface and protects the tooth pulp and nerves.

Dentin is the hard tissue under the enamel, and the pulp cavity contains nerves and blood vessels. Cementum covers the roots and helps attach the tooth to the jawbone.
What is the main substance of a tooth?
