Killing Small Cavities and remineralizing teeth with Silver/Non-Silver Therapy
Stop early cavities in their tracks with a quick, painless liquid treatment that protects teeth without drilling.
The Process
The dentist dries the tooth, then paints a small amount of the solution onto the cavity. No drilling, numbing, or shots are needed. Treatment is fast and painless, often completed in minutes.
The Results
Decay is halted and tooth structure is preserved. Patients may notice the treated spot darkens in color, which shows the solution is working. The tooth remains strong and functional until it’s time for a filling or natural tooth loss (in children).
Care Tips After Treatment
Continue brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Avoid sticky or sugary foods that promote new decay.
Attend follow-up visits so your dentist can monitor progress.
Discuss restorative options if discoloration is a concern.
