Fluoride Treatment for Boca Raton Residents

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF)

Approved by the FDA in 2014 for treating dentinal hypersensitivity in adults, is now widely used off-label to prevent and arrest dental caries, particularly in pediatric and geriatric populations. SDF is a cost-effective, non-invasive treatment combining silver, fluoride, and ammonia to provide antibacterial effects, promote remineralization, and harden tooth structure. Compared to sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish, which is effective for remineralizing early enamel caries, SDF is more effective in arresting dentinal and root caries, especially in underserved communities where traditional dental care is often inaccessible. Clinical studies have shown SDF's success rate in caries arrest exceeds 90% when applied biannually alongside oral hygiene instruction, making it a valuable tool in preventive dentistry that supports public health goals.

Fluoride varnish

This product is a safe, quick, and effective preventive dental treatment that helps reverse early tooth decay by strengthening enamel and making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque. It also reduces tooth sensitivity, especially near the gumline. Suitable for all ages, it’s a cost-effective, preventive measure often used in children and individuals who suffer from dry mouth and are at higher risk for cavities. The varnish offers long-lasting protection and is easily applied by dental professionals in just a few minutes.
