Why were my teeth glowing in uv light? is this normal?

Normal: Natural teeth will glow in uv light. Restorations (caps, veneers) probably will not.

Normal: Natural teeth contain phosphors that emit light in response to the UV light. Anything that blocks that transmission, such as crowns or cavities, will not glow.
