if you have skin on your lips, it must have come from your lip, because teeth do not grow skin, however, if you mean what are teeth made of "Teeth have two basic parts, a root to anchor the tooth to the jaw and a crown above the gum line. The root is covered with a hard material called cementum. At the center of each tooth is an area with nerves, arteries and veins called the dental pulp." - http://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/teeth.asp
