Cavities and toothaches can make even the happiest kids feel down. We can help turn those frowns upside-down with gentle treatment options like silver diamine fluoride.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a non-invasive alternative to fillings. SDF treatment doesn’t require any drills or shots, and takes only a few minutes. Your child’s pediatric dentist will simply paint some special liquid onto the affected tooth. This liquid seals and strengthens the tooth, protecting it from further decay. If your child has a cavity, fillings may not be their only option!
51% of kids between the ages of 5-11 have at least one cavity. If left untreated, cavities can lead to further complications like tooth infections.
We understand that you want to understand all of your child’s options before proceeding. That’s why we are happy to extend complimentary second opinions. If you’ve recently gotten a treatment plan from another office that you’re not sure of, feel free to bring it by!

A liquid painted onto a cavity that stops the decay from progressing. It's a good option for young or anxious children when drilling isn't practical yet.
No. There's no drilling and no numbing — we just brush it onto the tooth. It's one of the gentlest treatments we offer.
The treated decay turns black permanently. That's a fine trade-off on back baby teeth, but we'll talk it through carefully before using it anywhere visible.
It arrests the decay but doesn't rebuild the tooth. Many teeth still need a filling or crown later — SDF buys time until your child can tolerate that treatment.
Usually twice in the first year, then checked at each visit. We reapply if the arrested area shows signs of becoming active again.
