Teeth should be air-dried before a fluoride varnish is applied.
  1. True
  2. False
Explanation
Answer: B - It is not true that teeth should be air-dried before a fluoride varnish is applied.
Fluoride varnish will adhere to teeth which are not completely dried. Excess saliva may be suctioned or wiped away with gauze, which is ideal for patients with dentinal hypersensitivity for whom air drying would be rather painful.
