What are cats teeth made out of?

Like human teeth, cat teeth are made of dentin, a hard, bony tissue covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the body.

Here's a breakdown:

* Dentin: The bulk of the tooth, providing its structure and support. It's similar to bone but is harder and denser.

* Enamel: The outer layer of the tooth, it's extremely hard and resistant to wear and tear. It protects the dentin and helps the teeth crush and tear food.

* Cementum: A thin layer that covers the tooth root and helps attach the tooth to the jawbone.

* Pulp: The innermost part of the tooth, containing blood vessels and nerves. It provides nourishment to the tooth and helps it sense pain.

This combination of materials makes cat teeth incredibly strong and effective for hunting and chewing.
