A simple liquid can stop cavities without drilling, major study confirms
A simple liquid painted onto teeth in seconds can stop cavities without drilling, injections, or anesthesia, according to a major clinical trial involving young children. The inexpensive treatment could spare thousands of children painful dental procedures and surgery while paving the way for broader FDA-approved use.
A large-scale study by scientists from the University of Michigan has confirmed that silver diamine fluoride stops the development of caries in children without the use of drilling or anesthesia.
