Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens teeth and prevents cavities. While there are various forms of fluoride treatments, fluoride varnish stands out for its efficiency and effectiveness. It’s a highly concentrated form of fluoride applied to the tooth's surface to fortify the enamel and protect against decay.
Traditional Fluoride Treatments vs. Fluoride Varnish
Traditional fluoride treatments often come in gels or foams and require a longer application time. In contrast, fluoride varnish is quickly applied and hardens on contact with saliva, allowing for immediate contact with teeth and prolonged release of fluoride, making it an ideal choice for patients of all ages, especially active children.
