Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an FDA-approved treatment that stops active tooth decay and helps prevent it from progressing. This antimicrobial liquid combines silver to eliminate harmful bacteria with fluoride to strengthen and protect the tooth structure.
At V Dental, SDF applications are recommended as a conservative, comfortable solution for patients who need to stabilize cavities without drilling or extensive restorative care.
Silver diamine fluoride is especially helpful for patients who benefit from a minimally invasive approach.

This treatment is also an excellent option for patients who want to delay or reduce the need for more complex procedures. By stabilizing the affected areas, SDF helps preserve tooth structure and maintain oral health until further treatment becomes necessary.
Silver diamine fluoride offers several important advantages:
SDF may darken areas where active decay is present, which is a sign that the infection has been stopped. Healthy enamel and dentin are not affected.
