Overview: In the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030 report, prevention is reported as a key factor for lifelong health and living disease free. How can we as dental professionals help support this initiative? One answer is Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), a groundbreaking solution in preventive dentistry which can be implemented into your practice to help patients. Through this course, participants will gain an in-depth knowledge of the scientific principles underlying SDF, exploring its mechanisms of action and the latest research supporting its efficacy in arresting dental decay. By learning the application steps, uses in different scenarios, patient communication and acceptance techniques, and more, you’ll feel ready to keep prevention in the forefront of your clinical day with SDF.
