Few people have had a greater impact on the adoption of silver diamine fluoride in the United States than last week's guest. Pam and Brian sat down with Dr. Shirtcliff, the man who helped bring SDF to U.S. dentistry, to hear the remarkable story behind its introduction — including the testing and approvals required to make it available to American patients, and how its role has evolved since.

He also shares his candid perspective on where dentistry is headed, why our profession still leans too heavily on treatment after disease occurs, and why a stronger commitment to prevention and disease management may be one of the most important shifts dentists can make.

If you use SDF (or think you should), this is an episode you won't want to miss. 🎧
