Silver Diamine Fluoride Application (SDF)

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application is a minimally invasive dental treatment that involves applying a liquid solution containing silver diamine fluoride to teeth affected by tooth decay. SDF helps arrest the progression of decay and strengthen the tooth structure. This treatment is particularly useful for managing cavities in young children or individuals who may have difficulty receiving traditional dental treatments. By applying SDF, we can effectively address decay, control tooth sensitivity, and provide temporary relief while further dental interventions are planned. Regular follow-up care and good oral hygiene practices remain important for maintaining optimal oral health. Schedule an appointment with us to learn more about the benefits of SDF application for managing tooth decay.

GIC restorations are relatively easy to place and do not require the use of a bonding agent. GIC also releases fluoride over time, which helps to strengthen the teeth and prevent cavities.

GIC restorations are not as strong as some other types of dental fillings, such as composite resin fillings or amalgam fillings. However, they are more durable than other types of fillings, such as temporary fillings. GIC restorations are also a good choice for people who are allergic to metals.
