Not likely to change much. So they’re putting fluoride varnish on at kids yearly checkup? They’re gonna need a whole lot more than that to do anything meaningful with oral care. And if they do find decay? They’ll refer them to dental offices, where a comprehensive exam/cleaning will still be done. If anything this will result in more referrals to dental offices, increasing patient numbers.
