As you know, topical fluoride application prevents demineralization and increases remineralization, and also reduces root sensitivity, so we should be actively promoting the benefits of fluoride applications regardless of the patient's age if they have the factors associated with moderate to high risk. And although either professional applications of varnish or gel can be used at 3- or 6-month intervals for high caries-risk patients, it is strongly recommended that varnish be used, when available, instead of gel and that professional fluoride applications be given every 3 months versus every 6 months. The AMA endorses fluoride application in general, but admits it has not carried out any research work on the subject. |
