What if there was a simpler, more cost-effective way to shield our teeth from the cavities? The answer lies in an unexpected source – SDF, a liquid endorsed by FDA for sensitive teeth. Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry have unveiled groundbreaking findings: a single application of SDF in over 4,000 elementary school students over four years slashed cavity occurrences by a staggering 80% and prevented worsening in half the cases.But that’s not all – picture this: school nurses could become the frontline warriors in administering this game-changing treatment, making dental care more accessible, especially in underserved communities. This revelation could potentially reshape dental healthcare, offering hope to countless children who lack adequate access to traditional dental services. Join us as we dive deep into this dental revolution, exploring how SDF could rewrite the rules of cavity prevention and transform the lives of millions.

What does SDF stand for?
If I am not wrong, you showed the before and after pictures in a wrong way. The before picture is the one where the lesion is brown and AFTER staining with SDF, it gets black! The free article I found on Pubmed (PMC): "Evidence-Based Dentistry Update on Silver Diamine Fluoride" states that the "precipitation of silver byproducts […] stain the lesions black". Your pictures here are misleading.
