Visiting the dentist often evokes fear and anxiety, but the field of dentistry is evolving towards more patient-friendly methods. Techniques like silver diamine fluoride (SDF), atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), and the Hall technique are gaining traction for their non-invasive approaches, especially for children and those with anxiety or special needs.
The pandemic era accelerated the adoption of non-aerosol-generating procedures to curb viral spread, prompting dentists to utilize SDF and ART extensively. These approaches diminish the necessity for drilling and filling every cavity, reshaping the perception of dental care.
Emphasizing comfort and trust, these breakthrough techniques promise long-term oral health benefits. As dentistry pivots towards kinder practices, expectations are shifting, fostering a future where fear does not dictate dental care choices.
