Dental Screenings and Fluoride Varnish

Fluoride varnish is a quick drying sticky material that is painted on all tooth surfaces in the mouth. Varnish takes less than 2 minutes to apply. Fluoride varnish is important to prevent cavities for children at high risk for tooth decay, especially children under the age of three.

We provide fluoride varnish applications to children in the preschool setting, at WIC and at the Public Health office. To schedule a fluoride varnish application call our dental hygienist at 563-263-0122.
