During Den 2300/2400 seminars I have learned what Fluoride Varnish is, what and who it is used for and what its benefits. Moreover, I have learned the technique of Fluoride varnish application, its active ingredients, the mechanism of action, and I was able to apply my knowledge on practice. I found out that Fluoride varnish was introduced to the U.S in 1994 and it is widely used nowadays in dentistry. It is very safe and it takes only 1-4 minutes to apply. Fluoride Varnish is a great product that makes the enamel more resistant to acid attack and speeds up remineralization process. Moreover, after Fluoride Varnish application patients can eat and drink right after procedure. Fluoride Varnish stays on the tooth surface for many hours that allows slow release of the fluoride ion into a tooth surface.
Fluoride Varnish program works perfectly for infants, young children, toddlers, disabled people, hospitalized patients and people with severe gag reflex. The goal of Fluoride Varnish Application Program is to reduce number of children who have decay in primary and permanent dentition. Fluoride Varnish is a great tool that helps to improve kid’s overall oral health and to make their teeth stronger. Moreover, Fluoride Varnish is an easy, safe way to apply topical fluoride on children teeth. It takes only few minutes to apply and it is safe even for little kids. Fluoride Varnish prevents the demineralization of teeth and reduces the risk of caries. All these features of Fluoride Varnish makes it very desirable and beneficial product for every group of population.
