So one of the things that usually happens with recession is it exposes the roots and the roots are strong, but they’re not as strong as the enamel or the white part of the tooth. And when the roots get exposed, there’s higher risk for sensitivity and also developing cavities on the roots and with our current technologies, there’s not a great material that just binds to the root surfaces well, so does like a filling they will get to a general dentist office. So if we can prevent that decay and sensitivity from happening, we can try to restore your overall health.
