Fluoride varnish is a temporary protective coating that is painted on your child's teeth.

It is quick and easy to apply and does not have a bad taste. Currently, fluoride varnish is applied every year by our dental team as part of our normal treatment to prevent decay. Your school is part of a project in which the Lakes District Health Board Oral Health Service is applying fluoride varnish every six months as recommended by the Ministry of Health. Eligible children in years 1-8 will receive fluoride varnish. 

We will be at Tauhara Primary on Monday 12th April 2021
