WEST PALM BEACH, FL — Elevate Oral Care, LLC and Advantage Silver Dental Arrest, LLC announces the introduction of Advantage Arrest™ Silver Diamine Fluoride 38%, the only silver diamine fluoride cleared for use in the United States by the FDA.

After more than 8 years of research to assess safety and efficacy, Advantage Arrest recently received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to be marketed in the United States. “This is a significant milestone for U.S. dental professionals,” said Dr. Peter Milgrom, Scientific Director for the Advantage Silver Arrest. Elevate Oral Care is the exclusive distributor of Advantage Arrest. “We are extremely excited that the American Dental Profession will now have the opportunity to provide this proven therapy to their patients,” said Kevin Thomas, Managing Member of Elevate Oral Care.

In a 2010 two-site clinical study Advantage Silver Arrest was found to significantly reduce dental hypersensitivity¹. The results were clinically superior to results obtained in a 2006 study of Duraphat 5% sodium fluoride varnish².
