Fluoridlak

Fluoridlak is a dental varnish containing fluoride. It is applied by dental professionals to the surfaces of teeth. The varnish dries rapidly on the teeth, forming a protective coating that slowly releases fluoride over time. This sustained release of fluoride is believed to strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria in the mouth.

The primary purpose of fluoridlak is to help prevent tooth decay, also known as cavities. It is often recommended for individuals at higher risk of developing cavities, such as children, adolescents, and adults with a history of frequent decay or other factors that increase susceptibility. The application process is generally quick and straightforward, typically involving cleaning the teeth and then painting the varnish onto the enamel.

Fluoridlak is considered safe and effective when used as directed by a dental professional. Common side effects are minimal and usually temporary, such as a temporary mild discoloration of the teeth or a slightly unpleasant taste. The concentration of fluoride in dental varnishes is significantly higher than in over-the-counter fluoride toothpastes, which is why professional application is necessary. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing, remain essential components of maintaining oral health.
