We placed sealants and applied fluoride today in Clinic. Me and Brooke got to be together finally so that was fun! Sealants are actually pretty easy to do on adults....but kids are way to slobbery and it takes a lot more practice!! We have now learned how to apply all 3 types of fluoride. The gel and foam are put into a tray that goes in your mouth for 4 minutes.
The varnish is lightly brushed on all surfaces of the teeth and you aren't supposed to brush it off for at least 6 hours. All the ones I have tried taste pretty good, but my favorite is the varnish because you can eat and drink immediately after. Wednesday is our last practice day in Clinic before we do our mock patient exams. SCARY!! Wish me luck...
