The global dental fluoride varnish market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). Fluoride varnish is a more concentrated form of fluoride, painted onto the top and sides of a patient's teeth. The varnish itself is not a permanent layer—it stays on a patient's teeth for several hours, allowing the fluoride to enter the tooth enamel and making the tooth hard. It also prevents new cavities and slows down or stops decay from getting worse. If tooth decay has started, it repairs the tooth in the initial phase. Thus, the increasing prevalence of oral health conditions, primarily being tooth caries (tooth decay) is one of the major factors that is augmenting the demand for dental fluoride varnish. Further, a shift towards preventive and minimally invasive treatments has been observed as a key market trend where the dental varnish has emerged as one of the most critical alternatives for dental care.

The majority of oral health conditions include dental caries (tooth decay), periodontal diseases, oral cancers, oral manifestations of HIV, oro-dental trauma, cleft lip and palate, and noma (severe gangrenous disease starting in the mouth mostly affecting children).  The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people across the globe, with caries of permanent teeth being the most common condition. Globally, it is estimated that 2.3 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and more than 530 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth. This in turn, has surged the demand for dental fluoride varnish globally.
