What is Advantage Arrest and Why is It Important?

  • Helps preserve natural teeth and avoid invasive dental treatments.
How Advantage Arrest treatment is applied

How Advantage Arrest Works

  • Examination: We check for early signs of decay during your dental visit.
  • Application: Silver Diamine Fluoride is applied directly to the affected area, targeting the cavity.
  • Strengthening: The fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and halts the decay process.
  • Prevention: It protects your teeth from further damage, reducing the need for invasive treatments.
SDF treatment for children

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) for Kids

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a quick, painless treatment that stops cavities in their tracks, without shots or drilling.

  • How It Works: We apply SDF directly to the cavity, and it halts decay while strengthening the tooth. The cavity will stain black, but only for baby teeth.
  • How Often: SDF may be applied every 3 to 12 months, depending on your child's needs.
  • Aftercare: Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes. Temporary stains on gums or lips will fade in 1-3 weeks.
SDF for tooth sensitivity

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) for Dentin Sensitivity

SDF can help relieve tooth sensitivity by sealing exposed dentin and preventing further decay.

  • How It Works: SDF is applied to the sensitive area, strengthening enamel and reducing sensitivity.
  • How Often: SDF may be reapplied every 3 to 6 months.
  • Aftercare: Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes. A temporary metallic taste may linger briefly.
