A member asked:
How effective are fluoride injections (aquafresh) for treating a cavity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bunk: To treat decay the infected tooth material must be physically removed. Period. If the procedure you're inquiring about was effective, Dentists would have adopted it long ago.
