During the SDF procedure, the dentist will first clean the affected tooth or teeth. They will then apply the SDF liquid to the area using a small brush or cotton swab. The liquid will be left on the tooth for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate the surface and kill any bacteria that may be present. The dentist will then rinse the area with water to remove the excess SDF. The procedure is quick and painless, and most patients do not require any anesthesia.
