Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), sometimes referred to as TMJ, are quite
common and can affect men, women, and children of all ages. TMD is an umbrella term
covering pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints, which connect the lower
jaw to the skull, and the attached muscles that move the lower jaw.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is an antimicrobial liquid that is used on cavities to stop or interrupt the progression of tooth decay. It works by killing the cavity-causing bacteria.
The only major drawback of SDF is that it stains decay (cavities) black so it is only used in specific applications where aesthetics are not important.
