Liquid could be answer to stop cavities without drilling, study finds
The article’s full text was unavailable, but its title indicates a study examining a liquid fluoride treatment that may stop early cavities without drilling. If effective, this could make dental treatment less invasive and help prevent tooth decay from progressing to the point where fillings are needed.
Fluoride is commonly used to strengthen tooth enamel and support remineralisation, particularly in early-stage decay. The title does not provide enough information to confirm the study’s methods, results, sample size or whether the treatment is ready for routine use, so its findings should be interpreted cautiously.
