WebMD suggests a study showed nano silver fluoride (NSF) could have a similar effect, without any staining.
Consequently, the use of SDF is probably for baby teeth.
Also, these treatments should only be allowed with parental permission. This write up, along with the location (NYC) being a place that despises parental involvement in children's decisions, leaves me less than impressed, yet, I do believe this can be helpful.

My daughter had then used dental sealant applied to her teeth in 1995 when she was 5 years old and she has never had a cavity!

My teeth were saved by painting them with fluoride right after WWII, probably late 40s or early 50s. I had to go to the dentist about five times and he would put cotton around my gums to dry the teeth real good. Then he applied the fluoride and I had to sit there until it dried. Sure as heck it saved my teeth and I’m 83 now.

Great! So now kids can eat all the sugar they want and they don’t have to prioritize oral hygiene.
