SDF Provides an Effective Solution for Dental Hypersensitivity

Gingi-Pak’s new SDF Pro™ 38% silver diamine fluoride offers a gentle and effective approach to managing this common problem.

In the United States, dental hypersensitivity remains a widespread and often untreated issue. Typically marked by sharp pain in response to contact with cold, hot, or sweet foods, dental hypersensitivity can significantly affect patients’ quality of life.

For many patients, hypersensitivity is a daily struggle that may go untreated due to financial or practical barriers, such as low socioeconomic status, limited or no dental insurance, or special needs that interfere with access to care. When traditional restorative treatments are not possible or practical, an effective and noninvasive solution is essential. Gingi-Pak’s new SDF Pro 38% Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Solution addresses this urgent need, offering a gentle and effective approach to managing dental hypersensitivity.

Silver Diamine Fluoride Defined

Gingi-Pak’s SDF Pro 38% Silver Diamine Fluoride is a powerful tool designed to treat dental hypersensitivity. Dental hypersensitivity commonly arises when dentinal tubules, when unprotected, allow external stimuli to reach the delicate nerves inside. This exposure causes discomfort and pain during routine activities such as eating or drinking. SDF Pro assists in blocking or occluding these open tubules, effectively reducing sensitivity.

SDF Pro features a unique formulation that leverages the combined benefits of silver and fluoride. Silver particles provide potent antimicrobial protection, killing microorganisms that could expose more dentinal tubules, while the fluoride promotes remineralization, strengthening enamel and further protecting teeth from acid attacks and abrasions. SDF Pro will not stain healthy enamel or dentin, helping to minimize unnecessary stains.

Noninvasive, Patient-Friendly Solution

SDF Pro is designed to prioritize convenience and patient comfort. It is easily applied topically with a brush or applicator tip, eliminating the need for drills or anesthesia and reducing procedure length. This simple application method is particularly ideal for patients who cannot tolerate invasive restorative treatments, such as children, older adults, or those with medical or behavioral challenges. The procedure is fast, painless, and cost-effective, ensuring critical care is accessible for the most vulnerable while minimizing clinician chair time.

Innovative and Efficient Delivery System

What sets SDF Pro apart is its innovative one-drop delivery system. The 5-ml bottle features a cutting-edge flip-top cap design for easy, one-handed dispensing, helping clinicians reduce waste and streamline the application process. For added convenience and maximum product integrity, SDF Pro is also available in a unit-dose configuration, which protects the solution from exposure to air and moisture, ensuring each dose remains fresh and effective.

Gingi-Pak’s new SDF Pro 38% Silver Diamine Fluoride Solution offers dental professionals an advanced, practical tool for treating dental hypersensitivity while helping patients regain comfort and confidence in their daily lives.
