What Does Science Tell Us About Fluoride Varnish? 
Presenter: Shelley Brown, MEd, BSDH, AS, RDH, FADHA Release Date: 8/24/26

AGD Subject Code: 430  

We are all familiar with fluoride varnish but in today's environment of fluoride hesitancy, misinformation, and marketing noise, it's easy to lose sight of the science that makes it so effective. To continue delivering the highest standard of preventive care, clinicians need a clear understanding of what actually happens after varnish is applied and why those mechanisms matter clinically. This CE webinar takes a closer look at the science behind fluoride varnish, including fluoride uptake, fluorapatite formation, and the role prolonged contact time plays in long-term enamel protection. We'll also explore how varnish formulations behave on the tooth surface and what clinicians should consider when selecting a varnish for their patients.

During this webinar, we will:
• Review the latest science surrounding fluoride varnish and how it translates into everyday clinical practice
• Explore why fluoride uptake, not just fluoride release, is critical for effective prevention
• Understand why prolonged contact time plays a major role in varnish efficacy
• Identify patient risk factors and clinical indications for fluoride varnish placement   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
