During Oral Health Month, we would like to remind you that prevention is crucial to keeping your patients' smiles healthy throughout their lifetime. One of the ways to ensure your patients maintain optimal oral health are regular fluoride treatments. For many years, the only formulations available were gel or foam applied with trays, for a grueling application time of four minutes. The process was messy and even hazardous if gel was ingested by the patient in volume. One-minute fluoride gel application foam products appeared on the market; however, according to the ADA, they are not effective and should not be used. Thankfully, today there are better options available. Fluoride varnish is the latest approved standard of care from the ADA for fluoride treatments. Fluoride varnish is effective, efficient, and approved for patients of all ages, even as young as 6 months old.

Given the effectiveness of fluoride varnish, it isn’t particularly surprising that one of Centrix’s best-selling products is FluoroDose®! Our fluoride varnish has been ranked as the TOP in its category for 6 straight years by THE DENTAL ADVISOR. We’re proud to also announce that we’ve recently updated our packaging to an enclosed LolliTray™ with 4 patented features to make varnish applications easier for you and your patients.

Carly Cammarano, RDH, describes why she recommends fluoride varnish and FluoroDose in particular for her patients:

Centrix continued on their mission of Making Dentistry Easier by addressing the need for improvement in retraction materials. In 2012 Access^® Edge, a high-viscosity retraction paste, was released, quickly followed by a low-viscosity relative, AccessFLO^®, in 2013. Both Access Edge and AccessFLO are kaolin clay-based gingival retraction pastes, containing 15% aluminum chloride, providing dual astringent and hemostatic action, and BOTH are packaged in single-patient tips!
