Fluoride Varnish
Fluoride varnish is a highly concentrated form of fluoride that provides extra protection against tooth decay when used in addition to brushing. Fluoride varnish is applied to the tooth’s surface with a soft brush by a dentist or dental hygienist. Research shows that fluoride varnish is highly effective at reducing tooth decay if applied twice a year.
