Barb, Sorry but I fail to see how this substance can make a difference. I thought the problem is that the tubules that feed your tooth are what cause the problem. As I understand it your teeth have thousands of miles of tubes which actually feed your teeth calcium etc. This is why it is possible to get cavities even with proper dental hygiene as these tubes will also feed sugar to your teeth (explaining why children who eat alot of sugar and not enough calcium have weak teeth). When a tooth is pulled the tubes to that tooth die. Root Canals don't kill these teeth and tubules. The tubules continue to feed the teeth and this food is deposited in gum tissue, etc. I fail to see how any product can stop this process in the tubes. The only way I know of is extraction.
