Silver Diamine Fluoride

SDF Or Silver Diamine Fluoride

Dr. Elizabeth Kamali and Dr. Sal Taiym and their team can discuss with you if Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment is right for your child.

WHAT IS SILVER DIAMINE FLUORIDE?

Silver Diamine Fluoride, or SDF, is an FDA-approved antibiotic liquid that, when applied topically, can stop decay from progressing. While this treatment probably won’t prevent the need for a restoration in the future, it has been proven effective in stopping further decay until either the baby tooth is lost, or a more permanent means of repair, like a filling or crown, can be performed.

THE PROCEDURE

After the treatment area is isolated and dried, the doctor applies the Silver Diamine Fluoride to the decay using a small brush. Then, a fluoride-infused sealer is placed over the Silver Diamine Fluoride so it can work its magic undisturbed.

A follow-up appointment about a week later makes sure the Silver Diamine Fluoride is working, and a second application is applied.

After your child’s procedure, daily home treatment with a fluoride rinse (like ACT) is recommended, as is twice daily brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT

After your child’s appointment, you may notice some discoloration where the SDF made contact with the surrounding tissue of the gum, skin or an existing restoration. The decayed area where the Silver Diamine Fluoride was applied will also turn dark. This is an indication that the SDF is working and is perfectly natural.

Silver Diamine Fluoride is a safe, FDA-approved, effective way to stop decay. However, if your child has a silver sensitivity, please let us know before their appointment.

We’ve been going to Jupiter Star Dentistry for over 8 years now. The office staff is always pleasant and friendly. Dr. Taiym, Dr. Kamali, and Dr. Paradiso have all seen my 3 children. They are very kind, patient, and gentle with my kids. They are also very honest and trustworthy when it comes to treatment plans. I would 100% recommend them.
