PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
 
Description:

Description: PreviDent® 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish contains 22,600 ppm fluoride. It has a strong desensitizing action when applied to dental surfaces, treating hypersensitivity quickly and easily. This product sets rapidly on contact with saliva, resulting in patient comfort and acceptance. PreviDent Varnish will leave a thin film on the teeth after application.

Compostion:

1mL of this suspension contains 50 mg sodium fluoride, equivalent to 22.6 mg fluoride ion, in an alcoholic solution of natural resins.

Indications:

PreviDent Varnish is a topical fluoride for the treatment of dentinal and post operative sensitivity.

Dosage and Administration:

To be administered by the dental professional for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. The fluoride content in this product is dosed in such a way that neither acute nor chronic side effects are to be expected if applied according to the instructions.

Directions:

Please observe when treating hypersensitive teeth:

  1. Wash and dry tooth surface.
  2. Apply product with supplied brush in the conventional manner.
  3. Thin excess varnish on the tooth's surface until the varnish surface is dry.
  4. Covers even moist teeth with a coating of varnish film for several hours which occludes the openings of the dentinal tubules.

  6. It is recommended that the patient be instructed to eat only soft foods for two hours after treatment.
