Fluoride varnish is applied to the teeth in order to deliver fluoride, calcium phosphate, and a protective coating to your tooth surfaces. To obtain the maximum benefit of the Fluoride Varnish, we ask that you follow these recommendations after you leave the office:
- Do not brush or floss for at least four to six hours
- If possible, wait until tomorrow to resume normal oral hygiene
- Eat a soft food diet during the treatment period
- Avoid hot drinks and products containing alcohol during the treatment period
