FluoroDose®
FluoroDose is the top Fluoride Varnish of 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to The Dental Advisor. Clinicians love that it is smooth, not stringy or clumpy, so it reduces the chance of clogging vacuum lines. Patients love that it stays clear so there is no tooth discoloration. FluoroDose dries in seconds upon contact with saliva and remains on the tooth for 6 to 8 hours for optimum fluoride uptake. FluoroDose is FDA-cleared for treating dentinal sensitivity.
FluoroDose contains 5% sodium fluoride, the maximum dosage allowed in a convenient single-use LolliPack®. Each unit contains one single dose (0.3mL) of FluoroDose plus one Benda® Brush applicator. Simply peel back the cover, dip in the brush, mix and apply. Centrix makes fluoride varnish safer and cleanup easier.
The ADA considers fluoride varnish to be a safe and efficacious part of a caries prevention program that includes caries diagnosis, risk assessment and regular dental care.1
