Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and Silver Fluoride (SF) are FDA-approved topically applied solutions that rapidly harden tooth decay/cavities in primary teeth, protect the tooths nerve and also reduces tooth sensitivity.
SDF is often a simple and noninvasive way to treat primary tooth cavities. My experience with SDF is that it works when combined with better home care and dietary habits. Fillings used to be my go to treatment for cavities in primary teeth but now my go to is SDF, its simpler for the child.
Call us to schedule a consult to see if SDF is right for your child if they have been diagnosed with cavities.
