Dentine is:

 Softer than enamel, but harder than cementum and bone.

 Light yellow in colour.

 Sensitive to stimuli (e.g. hot, cold, and sweet substances). Reasons for this sensitivity are not fully understood, but it usually lessens with age.

Dentine also changes throughout life. After a tooth is fully developed, more dentine is laid down and is called secondary dentine.
