Fluoride varnish is a highly concentrated form of fluoride which is applied to the tooth's surface, by a dentist, as a type of topical fluoride therapy. It is not a permanent varnish but due to its adherent nature it is able to stay in contact with the tooth surface for several hours. It may be applied to the enamel, dentine or cementum of the tooth and can be used to help prevent decay, remineralise the tooth surface and to treat dentine hypersensitivity. The American association of Pediatric Dentistry recommends topical fluoride application in children on a bi-annual basis to help strengthening of teeth and to prevent decay.

What exactly does your Dentist mean when he says that your child has no cavities at present but is prone to them and hence you should seal these teeth at the earliest!? Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting your teeth from tooth decay. A sealant is basically a protective coating, which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth thereby preventing decay. Do all teeth need to be sealed? Some teeth naturally have deep grooves which will need to be sealed; others have shallow ones which will not need sealing. Book an appointment today and help prevent caries for your little one! 🦷
