Parents accepted to use SF in order: to reduce infection and pain (82,4%); to avoid dental injection (72,5%) and treatment under GA (84,3%). The majority of parents accepted the properties of SF (82,4%) and silver (80,4%). Conclusion: silver fluoride was accepted as a treatment option for caries, by Brazilian parents of CSHCN.
