What is silver diamine fluoride?

SDF is a colorless liquid made up of fluoride and silver ions. It kills the bacteria that cause cavities and stops the cavities from growing by making the tooth harder and preventing the growth of the bacteria that causes tooth decay.

The treatment is quick, comfortable, safe, and affordable. Because SDF keeps decay from getting worse, fixing the teeth can be put off until the child is older or has an easier time sitting through the treatment. Sometimes SDF is the only treatment needed if the cavities in the teeth are very small.
