Fluoride Varnish for Kids

Additional Protection

Fluoride varnish can reverse a cavity in the early stage by remineralizing the tooth. It is only a part of maintaining oral health care, along with brushing and a nutritious diet. Fluoride varnish treatments are recommended two to four times a year for children.

The Safety of Fluoride Varnish

Pediatric dentists only use a small amount of fluoride varnish and it isn't swallowed. It is safe for use on teeth and dentists globally use it to prevent tooth decay in children.

The Treatment

A pediatric dentist uses a small brush to paint fluoride varnish on the sides and tops of every tooth. It starts sticky but hardens. It will be brushed off with regular brushing in four to 12 hours. There is no pain and no shots. The treatment only takes a few minutes.

Fluoride varnish is one way to prevent cavities and tooth decay among children’s permanent teeth. It’s made with the mineral fluoride known for providing more strength to the outer coating of the teeth called the enamel.
