What is "enamel"?

Enamel is the hard, outermost layer of the human teeth that covers the tooth crown. It is the hardest substance in the body and serves as a protective barrier against tooth decay and mechanical damage. Composed primarily of minerals, mainly hydroxyapatite crystals, enamel is translucent and ranges in color from white to light yellow. Enamel does not contain living cells, so it cannot regenerate once damaged. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene practices and minimizing exposure to acidic substances are essential for preserving the integrity of enamel and promoting overall dental health.
