I have been offered an appointment (through local sure start play group), for dd2 aged 3 to have her teeth varnished with flouride by a dentist. I am a little unsure about the necessity as we already live in an area where the water is flouridated and we use flouride toothpaste twice a day. Is it really necessary? I have never heard of the process before today and my older children were not offered it.
Is this common now?
