Ask about Fluoride Varnish

All patients under the age of 18 and adults at risk of tooth decay or with dentine sensitivity will be offered fluoride varnish at their check up or assessment visits. This is a preventive treatment where we brush a high fluoride varnish onto the teeth. It can feel quite sticky for the first few minutes and we advise against eating or drinking for the 30 minutes afterwards to allow the fluoride to soak into the teeth. The Designed to Smile programme offers fluoride varnish applications in some schools. It is safe for children to have fluoride varnish application four times per year but please tell your dentist when your child has last had fluoride varnish in school. If you have an allergy to sticking plasters or if you have been hospitalised with asthma in the last year, this treatment is not suitable. Please remember to tell your dentist of any allergies as part of your medical record. Other preventive treatments are possible for these patient groups so if you or your child are considered high risk for tooth decay and cannot have fluoride varnish, you may be offered a prescription toothpaste or fissure sealants.

Fluoride varnish does not replace the need to brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day. Research has shown using a fluoride toothpaste is still the most effective way to prevent tooth decay (for more information, click here) but fluoride varnish can help to further reduce your risk of tooth decay (for more information, click here) and the Designed to Smile programme in schools has been successful in reducing children’s tooth decay experience by 15% over ten years.
