"Fluoride treatments—from how we administer them; to their effectiveness; to how they taste, look, and even feel—have come a long way," says Carol Jent, Ultradent's in-house clinical registered dental hygienist. But she believes we've finally hit a sweet spot with Enamelast fluoride varnish—a varnish that tastes great, is easy to apply, and exhibits excellent retention to the teeth. (She says she's seen Enamelast fluoride varnish stay on the teeth for up to 72 hours!) Enamelast varnish also looks great and appears natural on the teeth. Best of all, this fluoride varnish displays remarkably high fluoride uptake rates, which, she believes, is the most important function of a fluoride treatment or varnish.

"I took this shot on a visit to Canyonlands National Park that I took on a whim with a girlfriend," says Hillary Hubbard, a change analyst in R&D here at Ultradent, and the photographer behind Ultradent's calendar shot for August. She continues, "I'm a Utah native—born and raised in Syracuse and I've been visiting Southern Utah since I was a kid. We'd go with my family at least twice a year." However, it's not just Southern Utah that Hillary says she is fond of. "I love the diversity of the landscapes here in Utah. You can go from the Northern Uintas—these majestic, beautiful mountains, and then you can go down south where it's a desert and there are these gorgeous red rock formations and cliffs—it's just stunning."
