What You Should Know About Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is applied directly to cavities to instantly stop the process of decay—for less than a dollar per treatment. Other topical fluorides, including toothpaste and professionallyapplied varnish, primarily aim to prevent future tooth decay. More invasive treatments are typically required to treat decay once the caries process has begun to erode teeth—until now.
