HOW DOES IT WORK?
Typically, dentists have treated decay by removing the damaged part of a tooth and placing a restoration. Silver diamine fluoride is a an antibiotic liquid clinically applied to control decay and prevent further damage. The silver in this antibiotic liquid helps kill bacteria and strengthens the dentin (the underlying protective layer of your teeth). Fluoride is a natural mineral that has been used by dentists for years to rebuild tooth enamel.
BENEFITS OF SILVER DIAMINE FLUORIDE
This non-invasive option offers great results and is quickly becoming the future of pediatric dentistry.

While treatment with silver diamine fluoride may not eliminate the need for other restorative procedures in all cases, it has been proven effective to prevent further tooth decay in damaged teeth.
