Protecting Little Smiles with Modern, Gentle Care
At Honest Teeth Dentistry, we believe that prevention and early intervention are the best ways to keep your child’s smile healthy for life. That is why we proudly offer Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), a safe, proven, and non-invasive treatment that stops cavities in their tracks.
What is Silver Diamine Fluoride?
Silver Diamine Fluoride is a liquid treatment that combines two powerful ingredients:
Silver works as a natural antimicrobial agent that kills the bacteria causing tooth decay.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent new cavities from forming.
When applied directly to a cavity, SDF can stop the progression of decay without the need for drilling or shots.
Why is SDF Important for Children?
Children are especially vulnerable to cavities, and traditional dental fillings can sometimes feel intimidating or overwhelming. SDF provides a gentle and effective alternative:
Stops decay painlessly with no drilling or anesthesia.
Quick and stress free, applied in just minutes during a routine visit.
Preserves baby teeth until it is time for permanent teeth to come in.
Affordable and accessible, reducing the need for more complex and costly dental treatments.
Why Honest Teeth Dentistry Recommends SDF
As part of our commitment to honesty, comfort, and family-centered care, we encourage parents to consider Silver Diamine Fluoride as a first line of defense against cavities. Our goal is to:
Keep children out of the dental chair for invasive procedures.
Build positive dental experiences that help kids feel safe and confident.
Support parents with preventive solutions that make sense for both health and budget.
We take time to explain how SDF works, what to expect, and how it fits into your child’s personalized dental care plan.
What Parents Should Know
SDF does stain the decayed area of the tooth dark, showing where the cavity has been stopped. This stain is a sign of success because it proves the decay has been neutralized.
Healthy enamel will not stain.
Depending on your child’s dental needs, SDF can be a temporary or long-term solution until a filling is needed.
