Silver Diamine Fluoride
in Live Oak, TX
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.
