| The American Association of Endodontists has an excellent cut-away illustration of a tooth on its Web site, at www.aae.org/toothillus.html, along with easy-to-understand explanations of enamel, dentin, pulp, and other parts of the tooth. Here's how it describes enamel: "the shiny, hard, white tissue covering the tooth is the strongest tissue in your body. It has to be! Your jaws place as much as 128 pounds of pressure on your teeth when you chew, bite, clench, or grind."
