Silver diamine fluoride is a topically-applied agent for managing dental caries. It stops caries lesion progression, turning them black and hard in a high percentage of cases. Populations including pediatric, geriatric, special health care needs, and those with limited access to oral health care can all benefit from silver diamine fluoride. This commentary addresses some of the many questions that have arisen with the availability of SDF and marked gaps in our knowledge.
