Silver Diamine Fluoride Treatments
What is Silver Diamine Fluoride?
Silver diamine fluoride is often referred to as SDF. This is a medication that kills the bacteria that cause decay and stops the progression of decay for a time. Studies show that placing SDF every 3 months is very effective at halting the progression of decay. A major drawback to SDF is that it turns the decay black.
The uses of silver diamine fluoride vary widely. We often use SDF to stop decay on teeth that are close to falling out. We use it on young children to buy time for them to grow up and cooperate normally in a clinical setting. At times, we will use SDF to decrease sensitivity on teeth and allow them to heal.
