New Scientific Discovery about Tooth Enamel

Northwestern University scientists have gotten one step closer to figuring out what can compromise tooth enamel. 

Tooth enamel is the thin outer covering of the tooth. This tough shell is the hardest tissue in the human body. Enamel covers the crown which is the part of the tooth that's visible outside of the gums. Scientists have now also discovered impurity atoms. The information will enable us to explore how enamel becomes soluble—and also how we can strengthen it.
