Your teeth can store a lifetime supply of vitamin D and release it when you're starving.
During childhood, when you get sunlight or eat fish, your body packs vitamin D metabolites into the calcium layers of forming teeth. These molecules bind so tightly that they stay locked in for decades.
In extreme malnutrition, your body can mobilize calcium from dentin (not just bone) to keep blood levels stable.
