Question

Sonia: Enamel coating? What’s that?
Dr Sharma: For that you need to understand the construction of our teeth. Our teeth have three layers. The uppermost white layer is called enamel. It is the hardest and strongest part of our body. The second layer is called dentin. It is slightly yellowish. The innermost layer is called dental pulp. In your molar, there was a cavity which now no more exists.
