FDA-Approval for Drill-Free Cavity Care May Be Imminent After Great Phase 3 Treatment Trial
A new dental treatment called silver diamine fluoride may soon get FDA approval, offering a pain-free alternative to traditional cavity treatment. It works by applying a liquid to the tooth, stopping decay without drilling or anesthesia. The treatment has been used successfully in other countries and is already used off-label in the U.S. for tooth sensitivity.
