FAQs
How often should fluoride varnish be applied?
Apply fluoride varnish every 3 months. Studies indicate lower cavity rates in children receiving regular applications, compared to infrequent or no applications.
Is fluoride varnish safe?
Fluoride varnish is safe even for babies with their first tooth. Only a small amount of varnish is painted onto teeth, so next to no fluoride is ingested.
Do I need to do anything special after my child has fluoride varnish?
Your child can eat and drink immediately. But opt for soft, non-crunchy foods, and delay brushing and flossing until the next morning.
Will fluoride varnish make my teeth look different?
The gel temporarily colours the teeth for up to three days, before it gradually wears off, leaving protected, white teeth.
