Summary
Fluoride varnishes are safe, easy to apply and well-accepted by patients. It can be an efficient, non-surgical alternative for the treatment of decay in children. Fluoride varnish leads to heavy remineralisation of the enamel surface and the deposition of calcium fluoride, and subsequent acid attacks will allow fluoride ions to penetrate more deeply into the tooth structure. This method should be recommended as a treatment alternative in non-cavitated caries lesions and as a caries prevention strategy, especially in very young children. The study presents a case of a 3-years old boy with early childhood caries manifested mostly as white spots. The boy was classified as caries high risk and needed an individualized preventive and treatment plan consisting of extensive dental health education, dietary recommendations and extensive use of fluoride not only as a prophylactic agent to prevent further caries, but also to remineralize the white spots.
