Fluoride varnish prolongs the contact time between fluoride and tooth surface to reduce caries. Its active ingredient is usually 5% sodium fluoride, or 22,600 ppm fluoride. Its use as an "off-label" approved drug for caries control in the United States has been on the rise, along with increasing evidence of its efficacy in case-based studies. It sets rapidly on teeth, and it is simple, quick and easy to apply. Side effects or complications of its use are rare. Gagging and swallowing are unusual. The risk of dental fluorosis is minimal. And it can be safely used in young children.
氟化物清漆可延长氟化物与牙齿表面的接触时间以减少龋齿。其活性成分通常为5%的氟化钠，即22,600 ppm的氟化物。在美国，它作为一种“未按药品说明书使用”但已获批准用于控制龋齿的药物，随着基于病例研究的疗效证据增多，其使用量一直在上升。它能迅速在牙齿上凝固，使用方法简单、快速且容易操作。使用它的副作用或并发症很少见。恶心和吞咽情况不常见。氟斑牙的风险极小。并且它可以安全地用于幼儿。
