The white substance that covers the dentin of the crown of a tooth is called enamel. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and serves to protect the underlying dentin and pulp from decay and damage. It is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, a crystalline calcium phosphate, and is critical for the tooth's durability and function in chewing.

What is the name of the tissue that covers the crown of your tooth?
The crown has dentin covered by enamel, each root has dentin covered by cementum. The inner portion of the dentin of both the crown and the root also covers the pulp cavity of the tooth close to the CEJ.
What layer of the tooth is superficial to the dentin?

What is the structure of a pig tooth?
A pig tooth consists of a crown, roots, dentin, enamel, pulp cavity, and cementum. The crown is the visible part of the tooth, while the roots anchor the tooth in the jaw. 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.

The section of the tooth where the anatomical crown meets the anatomical root is called the?

What is a tooth composed of?
A tooth is primarily composed of four main tissues: enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum. Enamel, the hard outer layer, protects the tooth and is the hardest substance in the human body. Dentin lies beneath the enamel and provides support, while the pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, vital for tooth health. Cementum covers the root and helps anchor the tooth to the jawbone.
