Answer:

Explain to your uncle that problems such as exposed roots do not always cause pain but can lead to problems that do. Also explain to your uncle that prevention is key, and he should always follow the advice of his dentist.

Explanation:

The roots are made up of a substance called dentin. Dentin is much softer than the enamel that surrounds the crown of a tooth. Dentin is the only thing left to protect the tooth’s pulp which contains the nerves. Fluoride is a mineral that will help with remineralization and protecting these teeth with exposed roots.
