One non-invasive approach to the treatment of dental decay in children that we provide at our office is the application of silver diamine fluoride 38%. Originally used exclusively as a treatment for sensitive teeth, this fluoride compound also offers an effective alternative to more conventional methods of care to stop the progression of dental decay. Since silver diamine fluoride 38% comes as a liquid solution, which is quick and painless to apply, it is an excellent option for children with cavities as well as for individuals of all ages who are unable to sit for longer dental procedures.
