What Is Silver Diamine Fluoride?
Silver diamine fluoride is a liquid treatment applied directly to decayed areas of a tooth. The silver helps fight bacteria, while the fluoride strengthens enamel. Together, they stop decay in its tracks and help prevent the cavity from spreading.
Because it requires no numbing or drilling, SDF is especially beneficial for seniors, children, and patients who may have difficulty with traditional dental treatments.
How SDF Works During a Concierge Visit
When Dr. Greenstein identifies an area of decay during a Comprehensive Oral Exam or with the help of X-rays, she may recommend silver diamine fluoride as a treatment option. The process includes:
- Isolating and cleaning the affected tooth
- Applying a small amount of SDF to the cavity
- Allowing the liquid to dry and seal the area
Treatment is quick, painless, and effective — no drilling required.
Benefits of Silver Diamine Fluoride
- Non-invasive: No shots, drilling, or discomfort
- Prevents progression: Stops decay from getting worse
- Comfortable and safe: Especially helpful for seniors and children
- Convenient: Applied during in-home visits with no extra appointments
- Cost-effective: A conservative solution that may reduce the need for future restorative care
SDF can be part of your broader Preventive & Diagnostic Care plan, often combined with Topical Fluoride for maximum protection.
