Some pretty cool news...The WHO has added Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to its list of essential medications. SDF is a drill-free and minimally invasive treatment to stop early decay. It often requires semi-annual application for a sustained benefit. It is a great treatment option for young kiddos, but only if the cavity is diagnosed early. Routine professional check-ups aim to prevent decay from arising, but also aid in early detection that could be treated with this simple treatment modality. We are so excited that SDF is getting world-wide recognition!
