Your dental hygienist might ask you what flavor you like best. They’ll then put the frothy gel (or some of the time a tacky glue) into a mouthpiece that fits over your teeth. It’s normally left on your teeth for a minute. Other than the frothy gel, fluoride stain is additionally painted onto the teeth with a little clean.
