Advanced Cavity Prevention
At the Pediatric Dental Center, we use Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) as an effective treatment to strengthen your child’s teeth and prevent cavities. This innovative treatment not only helps to stop the progression of existing decay but also provides long-lasting protection against future cavities.
How does Silver Diamine Fluoride work?
Silver Diamine Fluoride is particularly beneficial for children who may not yet be ready for more invasive dental procedures. It works by combining the cavity-fighting power of fluoride with silver’s antibacterial properties, making it an ideal choice for preventing and managing tooth decay.
The American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association all recognize the importance of topical fluoride treatments, including Silver Diamine Fluoride, in maintaining good oral health.
If you’re considering fluoride treatments for your child, especially if your water supply isn’t fluoridated, SDF may be an excellent option. This treatment is painless, quick, and can be applied during a regular dental visit.
