Directions for Use
1. Clean teeth and remove obvious plaque and calculus from area to be treated. For best results, remove any excess moisture from the tooth surface.
2. Open the unit dose by gripping the tray and slowly peeling back the foil cover, exposing the brush applicator and varnish well.
3. Remove applicator brush and thoroughly stir the varnish in the well until it appears to be uniformly mixed.
4. Paint a thin layer of varnish onto treatment area using broad, even strokes.
5. Let the varnish dry for approximately 10 seconds and then instruct patient to close their mouth.
6. When dry, any excess varnish may appear “spotty” and may slide off the tooth surface. This will not affect the efficacy of the product as there is still a full layer of varnish on the tooth.
7. Dispose of package and applicator after use.
8. Patient may leave immediately after treatment. Patient should be advised not to brush teeth for a minimum of 2 to 4 hours after treatment.
