Silver Diamine Fluoride Dallas, TX

Silver diamine fluoride is a cutting-edge treatment available at Preston Center Pediatric Dentistry. As an FDA-approved antimicrobial liquid, it is highly effective in controlling and halting the progression of dental caries (cavities). This treatment is particularly beneficial for young patients who might find traditional dental procedures challenging or overwhelming.

Silver diamine fluoride is composed of two key ingredients: silver and fluoride. The silver acts as an antimicrobial agent, helping to eliminate bacteria and strengthen the underlying protective layer of your child’s teeth. Fluoride works to halt existing tooth decay and prevent further damage. This dual-action formula makes silver diamine fluoride an invaluable tool in pediatric dentistry.

Our pediatric dentist may recommend silver diamine fluoride for a variety of reasons, including:

• Children with severe early childhood caries
• Young patients who have difficulty cooperating during dental treatments
• Children with special needs
• Kids with multiple carious lesions that cannot be treated in one visit
• Patients who require a less invasive treatment option due to health concerns

There are many benefits to silver diamine fluoride treatments, including:

• The treatment is quick, painless and noninvasive, making it an ideal option for children. It can significantly reduce the need for extensive restorative work in the future and effectively eliminates harmful pathogenic organisms that cause cavities.
• Silver diamine fluoride offers almost immediate relief from tooth sensitivity and hardens the dentin, making it more resistant to acid and abrasion.
• While the treatment may stain decayed tooth tissue, it does not affect healthy dentin or enamel, ensuring a stain-free result for sound teeth.
