Although it is the outside layer of a tooth, enamel doesn’t dictate the tooth’s color, since it is semi-translucent. Enamel is, however, the reason why your teeth shine and reflect light the way they do. Enamel is also the barrier between your tooth’s main structure (called dentin) and harmful plaque that could lead to tooth decay. Tooth enamel is made almost entirely of mineral crystals (calcium and phosphate, particularly), and your teeth require a steady supply of these minerals to keep their enamel strong.
