Wouldn’t fight anyone too hard if they wanted to quibble about it, though. Dentin (or dentine) is a calcified tissue of the body and, along with enamel, cementum, and pulp, is one of the four major components of teeth. (better citations exist but I am sleepy) But enamel is calcified tissue. I don’t think there’s any lack of consensus about that classification. Enamel is avascular and has no nerve supply within it and is not renewed, however, it is not a static tissue as it can undergo mineralization changes.
