Teeth are Made of:

The hard material of the tooth is composed of calcium, phosphorus, and other mineral salts.

The material in the majority of the tooth is called dentine. The hard, shiny layer that you brush is called the enamel.

Human Teeth You have teeth so that you can bite, crush or break

your food. Teeth help to break down food so that your digestive system

can get the nutrients out of the food. You need energy to stay alive.

Humans are omnivores. They eat plants and meat

In adult humans there are 32 permanent teeth.
