  • Indications and Usage

    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.

    Dosage

    To be administered by the dental professional for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.

    Directions for Use

    Please observe when treating hypersensitive teeth

    1. Wash and dry tooth surface.
    2. Mix well prior to application.
    3. Apply product with supplied brush in the conventional manner.
    4. Thin excess varnish on the tooth's surface until the varnish surface is dry.
    5. Covers even moist teeth with a coating of varnish film for several hours which occludes the openings of the dentinal tubules.
    6. Hardens on contact with saliva so the patient may leave immediately after application of the product.
    7. It is recommended that the patient be instructed to eat only soft foods for 2 hours after treatment.

    Contraindications

    Ulcerative gingivitis and stomatitis.

    Interactions

    When PreviDent® Varnish is applied, other fluoride preparations such as fluoride gels should not be administered during the same day. The routine use of fluoride tablets should be interrupted for several days after treatment.
