Silver Diamine Fluoride Treatment in Spring

At Mona Dental For Kids, we are proud to offer Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment as part of our child-friendly, preventive dental care. This advanced liquid solution is an effective and non-invasive way to slow or stop cavity progression, especially in young children.

What Is Silver Diamine Fluoride?

Silver Diamine Fluoride is an FDA-approved antimicrobial liquid that combines silver, which fights bacteria, and fluoride, which strengthens enamel. Together, these ingredients help arrest the spread of decay and protect the tooth from further damage.

How It Works

A small amount of Silver Diamine Fluoride is applied directly to the affected tooth. The process is simple, fast, and does not require any drilling or removal of tooth structure. This makes it a great option for younger children, those with special needs, or any patient who may benefit from a more conservative approach.

When Is It Used?

Silver Diamine Fluoride is ideal for:

• Managing cavities in baby teeth
• Children who are not yet ready for traditional treatment
• Treating multiple cavities quickly and effectively
• Reducing the need for sedation in early-stage care

While it may darken the area of decay, this indicates the treatment is working to stop the cavity’s progression. We always review this outcome with parents before treatment.

A Smart Step Forward

Silver Diamine Fluoride is often used to delay or avoid more invasive procedures, giving children time to grow and develop before further treatment is needed. It’s a valuable tool in modern pediatric care.
