What is Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)?
Silver Diamine Fluoride is a clear liquid composed of silver, water, fluoride, and ammonia. This unique formulation has been proven to effectively combat cavities by stopping the progression of decay. Unlike traditional methods that involve drilling and filling, SDF offers a gentler alternative, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Non-Invasive Treatment
Say goodbye to the anxiety associated with dental procedures. SDF provides a non-invasive solution for cavities, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a more comfortable experience.
Pediatric-Friendly
Children can be especially apprehensive about dental procedures. SDF offers a gentle and efficient solution for managing cavities in young patients, making trips to the dentist a positive experience.
How Does Silver Diamine Fluoride Work?
Cost-Effective
Dental care should be accessible to everyone. SDF is often more cost-effective than traditional treatments, ensuring that you receive top-notch care without breaking the bank.
Antimicrobial Action
The silver component of SDF acts as a powerful antimicrobial agent, eliminating bacteria responsible for tooth decay.
Preserves Natural Tooth Structure
SDF not only halts the progression of cavities but also helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure. This is a significant advantage for maintaining a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Fluoride Strengthening
Simultaneously, fluoride strengthens the enamel, making the treated tooth more resistant to future decay.
