Fluoride Varnish 1 article

Fluoride Varnish is a professionally applied topical fluoride treatment used to increase fluoride contact with tooth surfaces and reduce caries risk in appropriate patients. Application technique, product concentration, recall interval, age, overall fluoride exposure and the patient's caries risk all influence how it is used. Varnish can support remineralisation and prevention on enamel or exposed root surfaces, but it does not replace plaque control, dietary measures or treatment of established cavitation. Professional varnish application is the specific intervention under discussion, within but narrower than fluoride prevention as a whole.
