That is all a thing of the past! By using [Enamelast™](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish, clinicians can provide their patients with a flavoured, xylitol-sweetened, 5% sodium fluoride that protects their teeth, but tastes great and isn’t uncomfortable or unsightly. We talked to three registered dental hygienists to find out what they love about [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx)fluoride varnish. “I’ve never had anybody say it’s a bad taste,” says Mandy Faucette, RDH. “As of late, I’ve had a lot of adult patients gravitate to some of the non-mint flavors. They’ve really enjoyed the Walterberry™ and the Orange Cream.” [![Illustration of an Enamelast fluoride varnish blister pack with applicator brush](https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5802407/image-jpeg-May-12-2021-05-50-44-00-PM.jpeg)](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx)                   Enamelast fluoride varnish come ready to use in a unit dose blister pack with an applicator brush included Faucette says pediatric patients appreciate the variety of flavors as well. “Children tend to like non-mint flavors, so they usually like the Bubblegum, Walterberry, and Orange Cream. They tend to gravitate toward those because they don’t have the spiciness of mint,” she says. “With [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish’s non-mint flavors, I haven’t noticed kids saying it’s spicy at all. Even if it does end up on their tongue, they seem OK. We were using a different brand before, and if it got on their tongue, they were like, blahhh.”   “I would for sure use [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish on me because I know that it works, it’ll be palatable, and give me all the benefits I need in a fluoride varnish—plus, it’s sweetened with xylitol. I really like that,” Faucette adds.   Jeanie Gates, RDH, says flavor is a primary factor when choosing a fluoride varnish and she makes sure to try them herself before she uses them on anyone else. “Taste is a big part. If it’s awful, then no one is going to do it. So, it has to taste good.” But taste isn’t the only factor. Many patients ask how long they need to leave fluoride varnish on their teeth. “It also has to stay on the teeth,” Gates adds. “There are some other products that taste good too, but they’re off the teeth in like half an hour.” [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish features a patented adhesion-promoting agent that ensures exceptional retention and allows for higher fluoride uptake. “It’s absolutely the fluoride varnish I want used on me,” Gates says.   [![Illustration of an Enamelast fluoride varnish syringe](https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5802407/image-jpeg-May-12-2021-05-51-03-34-PM.jpeg)](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) Enamelast fluoride varnish is also available in a syringe delivery method. “Some of the other products I’ve used are very thick and yellow, they’re hard to spread and you can’t get it in the interproximal areas,” says Sheri Barton, RDH. “I like [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish because you can get it into the interproximal areas near the gum line, and it’s thin so it spreads nicely.” She says it’s convenient for people who aren’t just heading home after their office visit. “It’s very thin and gives a nice clean coating, and it’s clear so patients can go back to work and not really notice it.”   Echoing Faucette and Gates, Barton gives a resounding, “yes, definitely” when asked whether [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx)fluoride varnish is her preferred topical fluoride varnish when she’s the patient. Along with the support of these three accomplished dental hygienists, [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish has been named a “Top 100 Product” by Dentistry Today and has won six Reality Four Star Awards. Flavour, texture, a nearly invisible appearance, and ease of applicasion make [Enamelast](https://intl.ultradent.com/au/Dental-Products-Supplies/Prevent-Hygiene/fluoride-treatments/Enamelast/Pages/default.aspx) fluoride varnish a favorite among patients and clinicians alike.   ![](https://info.ultradent.com/hubfs/Template/Blog/images/Icon_Mail.png) ### Ultradent Blog Sign Up to Receive Blog Updates ## Comments ### Recent Posts ![](https://info.ultradent.com/hubfs/Template/Blog/images/Icon_Mail.png) ### Ultradent Blog Sign Up to Receive Blog Updates ### Categories -
