What are teeth made of?
(Wiki)Blausen_0863_ToothAnatomy_02
What are teeth made of? Maybe you would have thought that teeth are some sort of bone, but the truth is way more interesting. Teeth are way stronger than any other human bones, which might be the reason why archeologist find more teeth than any other part of the body in ancient excavations. Healthy teeth can be just that durable!
Each part of the tooth is made of different substances. For example, the outer layer is called Enamel, the hardest of all layers and is composed mostly of a white and rock-hard mineral called calcium phosphate. The enamel is supposed to withstand the pressure of chewing for your entire life, but this doesn’t mean it is impervious. The enamel can be cracked by blunt trauma or can be breakdown by the bacteria’s acid from eating food debris on the tooth surface (caries and cavities!). The enamel cannot regenerate itself like bones, so it requires the intervention of a dentist.
The second layer of the tooth is the dentin. The dentin is made out of a combination of living cells that secrete a hard mineral substance. The dentin is not as hard as the enamel and even the color can go from cream to light yellow. Is very important that you get in immediate contact with your dentist if you start to notice a marked difference in color on your teeth, specially on molars and premolars (white edges with a yellow softer center). There are ways for the dentine to partially regenerate itself, but you need to address bacterial infections and other protection first with the help of a dentist.
The inner most layer of the tooth is called the pulp, which consist of nerves and blood vessels that connect to the jaw bone. This is the most delicate of all part of the tooth. If anything starts reaching the pulp, the pain will let you know.

Patient Shelley and Casey Black Dental Implants at Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry
Shelley Black
Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry staff would like to thank our patient Shelley Black from Golden British Columbia, Canada for choosing our dental clinic for her dental needs. She got done some Dental Implants and crowns. She and her husband Casey Black have operated “Northern Lights Wolf Centre” located in the Rocky Mountains since 2002 to create awareness about the importance of wolves in the ecosystem.
Teeth are important, especially for consummated pack hunters like the wolves. These amazing animals have 42 teeth: 4 canines, 10 carnassials and molars, 12 incisors and 16 pre-molars, enabling them to chew down to the soft and nutritious marrows in the bones. Gray wolves used to be found extensively across North America, but human-related activities have driven them away from their historical hunting grounds.
Shelley and Casey hope to promote the conservation of the natural environment and their role as carnivores to regulate wild life populations. Their centre features photography tours, family tours, field trips for groups, school classroom visits in their area, and even walks with wolves. Their wolves were all adopted from captive breeding programs and now live on a large enclosure. People from all around Canada come to visit this sanctuary.
Casey and Shelley Black come every year in sunny Cancun to enjoy the amazing white sand beaches and to relax on our amazing resorts. Casey has been a long time patient of Dr. German Arzate and share a great friendship. Each time he comes is like visiting part of the family.
Learning about their life work was awe inspiring for everyone at the clinic. In this picture she’s with Olivia, our Mexican dentist. Having you here was a privilege! Thank you Casey and Shelley, we hope to see you again to take care of your dental health and give you a great hug!
