Which white part of the tooth containing calcium salts?
The white part of the tooth that contains calcium salts is called enamel. Enamel is the hard, outer layer that protects the tooth from decay and damage. It is composed primarily of hydroxyapatite, a crystalline structure that provides strength and resilience. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and does not regenerate once it is lost.
What part of tooth does fluoride strengthen?

What are the names of the sections of the tooth?
The main sections of a tooth are the crown, neck, and root. The crown is the visible part above the gum line, the neck is the area where the crown meets the root, and the root anchors the tooth into the jawbone. Additionally, the tooth contains layers such as enamel, dentin, and pulp, which play crucial roles in its structure and function.
Why the root of the tooth become soft before the upper part of the tooth?
The root of the tooth tends to become soft before the upper part due to the nature of its structure and the surrounding environment. The roots are embedded in the jawbone and are more susceptible to bacterial infection and periodontal disease, which can lead to resorption of the root structure. Additionally, the root is composed of a softer tissue called cementum, while the crown is covered in enamel, which is much harder and more resistant to decay. This differential vulnerability contributes to the root softening before the crown.
