Summary

This study surveys general dentists in two UK regions to understand their knowledge and use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), a liquid that stops tooth decay without drilling or needles. Researchers aim to identify barriers like training gaps or cost that prevent wider use in children. The goal is to help more dentists adopt this quick, painless treatment to improve kids' oral health.
