Dentistry is a minimally invasive approach used to stop cavities from progressing without the need for traditional drilling or shots in many cases. This treatment combines silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with tooth-colored restorative materials to help preserve healthy tooth structure while comfortably treating decay.
