How Enamel Protects Your Teeth
When you think of tooth enamel you can compare it to an eggshell. Like and eggshell, tooth enamel protects the soft part of the tooth inside. Unlike an egg’s outer layer, though, enamel is tough. It is the hardest substance in your body. With some luck and good dental care and proper at home oral habits it can withstand decades of biting, chewing, and crunching.
