Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a safe and effective treatment used to help stop the progression of cavities in children, especially when traditional fillings may not be the best option.

SDF is a liquid solution that combines silver, which helps fight bacteria, with fluoride, which strengthens tooth structure. It is carefully applied to areas of decay to help prevent cavities from worsening.

SDF may be recommended for:

• Young children
• Patients who are anxious or have difficulty sitting for treatment
• Cavities in hard-to-reach areas
• Situations where a non-invasive option is preferred

SDF can darken the area of treated decay. This color change is harmless but may be noticeable, especially on front teeth. Our team will discuss all options with you before treatment.
