The use of Silver Diamine Fluoride dates back to the 1960s when it was first introduced in Japan.
During your visit, our caring team will gently apply the Silver Diamine Fluoride solution to the affected tooth or teeth using floss and a small brush. This painless process takes only a few minutes and requires no numbing of the teeth, ensuring minimal discomfort for your child.
Once the solution is applied, it quickly soaks into the tooth enamel where its anti-bacterial properties can stop progression of the decay. This helps prevent the need for more invasive procedures in the future.
After the treatment, our dentists will monitor the progress of the affected teeth and provide any necessary follow-up care. We'll ensure that your child's smile remains healthy and vibrant.
