WHITE TEETH 101
MIND-BLOWING FACT
TEETH AREN'T NATURALLY OPAQUE WHITE!
JAW-DROPPING FACT
THEY'RE ACTUALLY YELLOWISH WHITE
AND SEMI-TRANSLUCENT!
Teeth are made up of 3 layers.
Enamel - Bluish white and translucent
Dentin - A varying shade of yellow
Pulp - Pinkish-red as it contains nerves and blood vessels
The colour of your teeth is usually determined by the enamel and dentin layer. People with thinner enamel will have yellowish teeth as the underlying dentin shows through.
