Description
Aisan Nouri, Lisa Jamieson, and Seyed Kian Haji Seyed Javadi made a policy case in 2026 for silver diamine fluoride, a liquid painted onto tooth cavities to stop them without drilling. Drawing on reviews, trials, cost studies, and guidelines, they weighed the treatment across clinical, workforce, economic, and fairness angles. The liquid is cheap, quick to apply, and workable in community settings for children, older adults, and people who struggle to reach a dentist.
Uptake still lags because of unclear rules, weak payment routes, training gaps, worries about the black stain it leaves, and patchy follow-up. The authors propose a six-part framework covering financing, regulation, training, patient communication, research, and governance. Their bottom line: evidence is no longer the barrier; systems are.
