Silver Diamine Fluoride in Southwest Edmonton
A non‑invasive treatment that helps stop cavities from progressing—without drilling or discomfort.
Silver Diamine Fluoride: Effective, No‑Drill Cavity Care
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a quick, paint‑on treatment that helps stop early tooth decay and strengthen enamel—often without drilling or anesthesia. At Jasmine Dental Hygiene in Southwest Edmonton, we use SDF as a conservative option when a traditional filling isn’t the best immediate choice or when patients benefit from a gentler approach.
During your visit, we simply apply the SDF solution to the affected area, allowing it to harden and stabilize the tooth. The process is fast, painless, and ideal for young children, seniors, or anyone who prefers to avoid more invasive dental procedures. SDF effectively slows or halts cavity progression, giving you more time to plan long‑term care while keeping your smile comfortable and healthy.

Questions
Everything you need to know about dental hygiene care.
What is Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)?
SDF is a liquid, paint‑on treatment that helps stop early cavities from getting worse while strengthening the tooth surface—often without drilling or freezing.
Does SDF hurt?
No. SDF is completely painless. It’s simply brushed onto the tooth and dries quickly, making it ideal for young children and patients who prefer gentle, non‑invasive care.
Will SDF stain my tooth?
SDF permanently darkens only the decayed portion of the tooth, not healthy enamel. This colour change shows the cavity has been stopped and stabilized.
Who is a good candidate for SDF?
SDF is great for young children, seniors, patients with dental anxiety, or anyone who needs to delay a traditional filling. It’s also helpful for small or hard‑to‑reach cavities.
