After having a professional fluoride treatment applied to your teeth, it is normal to feel the varnish coating, particularly if you rub your tongue across the outside surface of your teeth.
The treatment period is approximately 4 to 6 hours. Immediately after the treatment, to achieve the maximum benefit, please follow the instructions below.
- Do not brush or floss your teeth for at least 6 hours after the treatment.
- Eat only soft foods for at least 2 hours after the treatment.
- Do not consume hot drinks or alcohol for at least 6 hours after the treatment.
- Wait until the next day to resume normal oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing.
Thoroughly brushing and flossing will remove any remaining fluoride varnish and your teeth will return to the same shine and brightness as before the treatment.
