re: OT Dentists: Question on Kids' Fillings

Not to hijack, but I'm sure this thread will attract dentist so I have a quick question:
I have my teeth cleaned every 6 months. Whenever I do, they give me the option of having a fluoride treatment but my insurance doesn't cover it so I pay $35 out of pocket. Is it worth it? They just 'paint' it with a thick paste and say I can eat or drink immediately after. I have problem teeth so if it helps, I wanna continue to do it I just don't want to waste money.

Although there are some indications for adults to receive fluoride varnishes, I'd be hesitant to make it part of my normal routine unless there were ongoing problems that were being addressed.
Assuming you have otherwise healthy teeth - just soak them for a few mins in the foam you get from brushing your teeth.
