Examine both kinds of sections, noting arrangement and extent of dentine, enamel, and pulp.
Surrounding the cavity on all sides is the hard substance known as the dentine, or tooth ivory.
The acid thus generated attacks the enamel of the teeth, causing decay of the dentine.
The exposure of the delicate pulp to the air, due to the decay of the dentine, gives rise to the pain of toothache.
The only advantage of yellowish teeth rests in the fact that their dentine is, as a rule, stronger.
