Protecting and Preserving Your Child’s Smile
What Is Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)?
Olney Pediatric Dentist
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to halt the progression of tooth decay, making it especially beneficial for young children. This quick and effective procedure involves applying a liquid solution of silver diamine fluoride directly to cavities, which strengthens the enamel, remineralizes the affected areas, and prevents further decay. SDF is a valuable option for children with early-stage cavities or those who may have difficulty tolerating traditional dental treatments, as it requires no drilling, anesthesia, or extensive procedures.
Dr. Jenny at Olney Pediatric Dentistry offers SDF treatment as a gentle and highly effective way to protect your child’s developing teeth. With its ability to treat cavities quickly and comfortably, SDF allows Dr. Jenny to help preserve your child’s dental health and avoid the need for more invasive treatments later on. Whether your child experiences anxiety at the dentist or has a challenging time with other procedures, SDF offers an easy and pain-free solution that can help manage early-stage cavities.
