The Benefits Of Silver Diamine Fluoride
Stops Tooth Decay
One of the primary benefits of Silver Diamine Fluoride is its ability to halt tooth decay. When applied, the silver ions in the solution kill bacteria and prevent further decay. This can help to preserve your child's natural teeth and prevent the need for more invasive treatments.
Non-Invasive Treatment
For children who are anxious about dental visits, the non-invasive nature of Silver Diamine Fluoride is a significant benefit. The treatment involves simply painting the solution onto the teeth, a process that is quick, painless, and can be completed in a single visit.
Prevents Future Decay
Not only does Silver Diamine Fluoride stop existing decay, but it also helps to prevent future decay. The silver ions remain active on the tooth surface for several months, providing ongoing protection against bacteria and decay.
The Silver Diamine Fluoride Treatment Process
Examination and Cleaning
The first step in the Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment process is a thorough examination and cleaning of your child's teeth. This ensures that the SDF can be applied directly to the areas of decay.
Application of Silver Diamine Fluoride
Next, Dr. Garber will carefully apply the Silver Diamine Fluoride solution to the decayed areas of your child's teeth. This process is quick and painless, with the SDF simply painted onto the teeth.
Observation and Follow-Up
The final step in the process is observation and follow-up. Dr. Garber will monitor the treated areas to ensure the SDF is effectively halting decay. Regular check-ups will also be scheduled to maintain your child's dental health.
