3. A metallic taste may be noticed, this will go away rapidly.
4. These side effects may not include every possible situation. If you notice other effects, please contact us at 262-896-9891.
Alternatives to SDF (not limited to the following)

Parent/Guardian Info
I understand that my child will have the following treatment performed. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to stop cavities from progressing. SDF is a liquid used on cavities to help stop tooth decay. In some cases, where a dentist would do a regular filling, it is now possible to use a less invasive treatment to stop the decay process. With this consent, up to 4 treatments may be provided on the teeth indicated, as determined by the Dental Hygienist. Every reasonable effort will be made to ensure the success of SDF treatment. There is a risk that the procedure will not stop the decay and no guarantee of success is granted or implied **Treatment with SDF does not eliminate the need for dental fillings or crowns to repair tooth function. Additional procedures will require a visit to your dental office.
