But decay is reversible until it reaches the dentin.

可是，在质遭到腐蚀之前，腐蚀随时都会发生。

And sometimes, the combination of sweet stuff and exposed dentin equals pain.

有时，甜东西和暴露质碰撞就会导致疼痛。

That snack touching the outside of your exposed dentin has highly concentrated solutes in the form of sugar molecules.

那些接触到你暴露质外部零食含有高度集中子形式溶质。

If your enamel is worn away, your dentin and its tubules can be exposed.

如果你釉质被磨掉了，你质和它小管就会暴露出来。

Some become odontoblasts — these cells make dentin, the tough, fibrous core of the tooth.

一些变成成质细胞——这些细胞形成质，坚硬纤维质，是齿核心部。

And the dentin acts as the selectively permeable barrier.

质则作为选择性渗透屏障。

If destruction continues into the dentin layer, then the caries lesion enlarges towards the pulp.

质层损害继续蔓延，缺损会延伸到髓。

These growth factors cue stem cells to generate dentin, the bonelike substance that teeth are mostly made of.

这些生长因子会提示干细胞修复质，这是齿成中绝大部组成物质。

The fluid in your dentin's microtubules rushes out of your tooth towards the sugar.

质微管中液体冲出齿，冲向那里。

The demineralization of cementum and dentin can occur in a pH range of 6.2-6.8.

骨质和质脱矿可以在pH6.2到6。8范围内发生。

Odontoblasts use a more complex process, but unlike ameloblasts, they stick around, continuing to secrete dentin throughout your life.

成质细胞则需要更复杂过程，但与成釉细胞不同，它们不会消失，会在我们有生之年继续泌质。

This amazing structure is created by two types of cells: ameloblasts that secrete enamel and odontoblasts that secrete dentin.

泌釉成釉细胞以及泌质成质细胞。

They're false in that they're not made of what our teeth are made of: dentin and enamel.

“伪”不是由我们齿材料——质和珐琅质——构成。

But if the damage extends beyond the dentin, the bacterial invasion progresses causing excruciating pain as the nerves become exposed.

在此阶段，逐渐扩大 蛀区并不会产生疼痛，但若损害扩大 超出了质范围持续侵入细菌。

And, like us, the inside has a pulpy part with some cells that produce dentin.

且，和我们一样，里面有一个浆状部，里面有一些产生质细胞。

And they fixed the dentin the door, I just need to go and pick it up tomorrow.

他们把门上质修好了， 我只需要明天去取。

First, the acid eats away the very hard outer layer of yourtooth, called the enamel. Inside the enamel is the dentin.

酸性物质会先腐蚀掉冠表层珐琅质。珐琅质所包覆便是质。

They are made up of an outer layer of enamel, and an inner layer of hard, dense, bony tissue called dentin.

它们齿由外层釉质以及内层坚硬、紧密骨组织构成，这些骨组织被称为质。

And it’s made up of three layers: the enamel, the dentin, and the pulp.

它由三层组成：釉质、质和髓。

But the cavity doesn't really start to hurt until it gets through the dentin to the soft pulp. That'swhen you get a toothache.

但是，要等到酸性物质通过质，开始腐蚀髓了才会对齿造成质伤害。这个时候齿也就开始疼起来了。
