Fluoride varnish visits: what the painted-on layer is
Varnish is a sticky fluoride layer painted on teeth in a dental office. It sets quickly.
What happens
Teeth are dried, varnish is brushed on, and it hardens with saliva. The visit is usually short.
Aftercare
Offices give timing for eating and brushing. Follow their card, not a generic blog.
Who gets it
Children, people with frequent cavities, and some medical conditions that raise risk. Your dentist decides.
Info only
Fluorova explains the idea. We do not schedule varnish appointments.
