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.

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.

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.
