Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a minimally invasive topical liquid used to stop and prevent dental caries (tooth decay). It contains silver (which acts as an antimicrobial) and fluoride (which promotes remineralization) to stop the progression of cavities without drilling or local anesthesia.
Benefits of using SDF include:
- Completely painless and quick application
- Highly effective at stopping tooth decay in baby teeth and permanent teeth
- Significantly cheaper and faster than traditional fillings
- Reduces tooth sensitivity
