Liquid treatment shows promise for stopping cavities in young children
A clinical trial involving young children has found that a simple liquid treatment can stop cavities without drilling, injections, or anesthesia.
Applied to the teeth in seconds, the treatment offers a less invasive and inexpensive alternative for managing cavities. Researchers hope it could spare many children from painful dental procedures and surgery while paving the way for broader approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
