I have a porcelain tooth! I also have teeth made of calcium, phosphorus and other mineral salts. Did you know that teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness? There are actually four layers of bone. Enamel is the hardest and most highly mineralized substance of the entire body and is one of the four major tissues which make up the tooth, along with dentin, cementum, and dental pulp. Of the four dental pulp is my favorite.

My favorite number is 1 because it looks like a toothpick. One time I had an entire green bean stuck in my tooth and I used a toothpick to get it out. That's why my favorite number is 1.

I love turtles so much. I own the largest turtle farm in Montana and I have created a turtle shell large enough for me to fit in. I also learned that turtles lack the strengths in their sphincter to flatulate under water. I can identify with them because my sphincter is really weak also.
