Sealants and fluoride

Last Monday, Nov. 1st we practiced sealants and fluoride.  I love getting new sealants.  I was able to get two new ones today on a couple of my premolars.  I also enjoy doing sealants.  I feel like I understand how to place them really well, without having to remove much material afterward.  I do have to say that I don't like fluoride varnish very much though.  It tastes nasty and makes my teeth feel like they are coated in gum for several hours until I brush it off.  I would much rather have the tray of gel or foam for four minutes than have that stuff on my teeth for four hours.  It is rather easy to apply though.  All you have to do is quick swipe of the "paint brush" with the varnish on all surfaces of the teeth and presto!  The teeth have fluoride on them.  It's magic!
