Silver Diamine Fluoride

A Gentle, Non-Invasive Way to Stop Cavities

At Davies Dental, we’re committed to providing preventive solutions that protect your oral health with comfort and ease. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a quick, non-invasive treatment used to stop cavity progression in its tracks — without drilling or injections. It’s especially helpful for children, elderly patients, or anyone who wants to avoid more invasive dental work.

Why Choose Silver Diamine Fluoride?

SDF has become a trusted treatment for patients who need a gentle alternative to traditional fillings. It helps by:

• Stopping active tooth decay and preventing it from spreading
• Providing a safe, painless option for children and anxious patients
• Protecting elderly patients or those who have difficulty with standard dental procedures
• Delaying or even avoiding the need for drilling and filling

SDF is an affordable, effective, and stress-free way to protect your teeth from further damage.

What to Expect at Your Visit

The application of Silver Diamine Fluoride is fast and completely painless:

1. Cleaning the Tooth
   We gently clean the affected area to prepare the surface.
2. Applying SDF
   A small amount of the liquid solution is carefully brushed onto the cavity.
3. Immediate Action
   The solution penetrates the tooth to stop decay and strengthen enamel.
4. Aftercare
   You’ll receive simple instructions, and the process may be repeated at future visits for maximum effectiveness.

Important to Know About SDF

• The treated area will turn black, which is a normal sign that the decay has been stopped.
