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.

Why Choose Town Center Dental

We offer modern cavity-arrest treatments like SDF for patients of all ages. Our team focuses on comfort, prevention, and effective care—helping you manage cavities quickly and easily without unnecessary drilling.

What is Silver/Non-Silver Therapy?

This treatment uses Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) or Calcium Hydroxyapatatite (non-flouride) topical solutions to stop cavity-causing bacteria. Applied directly to small cavities, it hardens weakened enamel and halts decay.

Benefits of Early Detection

  • Arrests cavities quickly, without drilling or anesthesia.

  • Provides relief for children, seniors, or patients with dental anxiety.

  • Strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity.

  • Can delay or even prevent the need for fillings.

When It’s Recommended

  • For children with baby teeth at risk of cavities.

  • When patients cannot tolerate traditional drilling or anesthesia.

  • To manage early cavities until restorative treatment is possible.

  • For patients with high cavity risk or limited access to traditional care.
