The Training in Fluoride Application is segmented into two core components. First, it delves into the theoretical understanding of various subjects, encompassing patient management, community-based fluoride application programs, and broader topics like legal and ethical considerations. The second component is practical, requiring students to maintain a work-based record of competence, integral to their learning journey.
The Certificate in Fluoride Varnish Application is a level 4 post- registration qualification awarded by the National Examination Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN). This provides established dental nurses with additional training which will enable them to provide effective fluoride varnish application within a community-based setting, on prescription from a dentist or as part of a structured dental health program.
The course duration is 6 months.
You will attend online/remote lessons via Teams. One 3 hour lesson each month for 6 months.
There is no exam at the end, you need to successfully complete a Record of Competence.
We found Cavity to be amazing help. They listen to your needs and go above and beyond to get you the trainee that you need.
I did my course years ago. It was classroom based one night per week. I think I would prefer to be more ‘hands on’ like it is now. Cavity really are a great company to work for. I truly believe that there expertise will ensure the next generation are amazing!
I did mine over an apprenticeship but the company my employer used wasn’t great and I didn’t get much support. Although I passed I can only imagine the length that Cavity have gone to to ensure that the students feel supported. As an employee, its super!

After qualifying as a dental nurse in 2018, Emma trained in Oral surgery at the LDI, in addition to post reg courses such as fluoride application and impression taking and almost went on to train as a dentist until she discovered all the amazing opportunities with Cavity.

In her down time Emma and her dog Beau enjoy walking, Rugby Union and a cuddle on sofa in front of a great movie.
