Fluoride Treatment

What is fluoride varnish and what is it used for?


Fluoride varnish is a pale yellow get that sets quickly when applied to children’s teeth using a soft brush on dried teeth. The varnish sets quickly and has a pleasant taste. Scientific studies have shown that fluoride varnish gives added protection to the teeth against decay when used in addition to regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste.
