Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary enamel cuticle, also called Nasmyth's membrane, remains for many months until worn away by toothbrushing or other abrasion. Newly erupted teeth should never be subjected to tooth bleaching. Their pulp cavities and pulp horns are extremely large and very vulnerable to damage. Final calcification has not yet occurred.
