Information for parents about Fluoride Varnish
Why do we recommend putting fluoride varnish on childrens teeth?
Tooth decay is one of the most common preventable diseases seen in children. Children as young as 1218 Mon.ths can get cavities. Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain and even prevent children from being
able to eat, speak, sleep and learn properly. Children do not lose all their baby teeth until they are
about 12 to 13 years old.
What is fluoride varnish?
Fluoride varnish is a protective coating that is painted on teeth to help prevent new cavities and to help
stop cavities that have already started.
Is fluoride varnish safe?
Yes, fluoride varnish can be used on babies from the time they have their first teeth. Only a very small
amount of fluoride varnish is used. This method of providing fluoride to teeth has been used in Europe
for more than 30 years. Fluoride varnish is approved by the FDA and is endorsed by the American
Dental Association.
