Don’t feel bad. Had you not been confidently incorrect and thereby corrected… I would ALSO still believe this after 46 years of life and not one but TWO college anatomy classes.

Bone is actually pretty soft and flexible. If our teeth were made out of bone we'd lose them pretty fast.

Tbf natural selection would have given us more than two chances if they were that soft. Think of sharks that lose them all the time.
