Silver Diamine Fluoride
What is Silver Diamine Fluoride?
Silver Diamine Fluoride is an FDA-approved antibiotic liquid that is applied to control active dental caries and prevent further progression of disease. While the ideal way to treat teeth with decay is by removing the cavity and placing a filling, this alternative treatment allows us to slow the progression of a cavity with noninvasive methods. This method is commonly used in children who are unable to tolerate traditional cavity fillings.
Treatment with Silver Diamine Fluoride will NOT eliminate the need for a filling, but has been effective and slowing the growth a cavity.
How does Silver Diamine Fluoride work?
Silver Diamine Fluoride is composed of two primary components: silver and fluoride. Silver acts as an anti-microbial agent that simultaneously strengthens the underlying protective layer of your teeth called dentin. Fluoride is the active ingredient that puts a stop to tooth decay and helps prevent additional decay from appearing.

"Dr. Laura Doss is an amazing pediatric dentist. She has amazing communication skills and speaks to the children in kid friendly language. My children love Dr. Doss and she makes them feel comfortable and safe. Her kindness and patience makes their experience great. She answers all my questions about their treatments and she takes significant care of each of my children and especially the two that have special needs. I am so happy with the outstanding experience that we have with Dr. Doss and never am I hesitant to bring back my children anytime."
- Rana I.
"We have had the privilege of Dr Laura being our child’s dentist for a number of years. My now 12 year old HATED the dentist. She needed quite extensive orthodontic work done, but had to have the dental work done first. We lucked in to being placed on Dr. Laura’s schedule and we have never looked back. My child LOVES Dr. Laura and so do I. My now 27 year old son became very ill in 2019. He was a medical mystery and spent 8 days in patient in University Hospital. We had an appointment with Dr. Laura during this time and I told her what was going on and showed her some pictures of his mouth (he was unable to eat or drink.) She took a genuine, sincere interest in my son and reached out to some of her colleagues and gave me some things to bring to the Drs. attention. It ultimately ended up being a dentist, who had gone into pathology, that finally helped my son. Dr Laura put me in the right track. My 12 year old is still currently in orthodontics and I absolutely love the way that
Dr. Laura and my orthodontist communicate about her care with each other. Your child will be in wonderful hands with Dr. Laura Doss and you and your child will fall in love with her just like we did."
