Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The treatment involves the application of a concentrated fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth, a procedure that typically takes just a few minutes. Following the application, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to maximise the treatment's effectiveness, including guidance on eating, drinking, and maintaining optimal oral hygiene.

Fluoride treatments are professional dental procedures that apply a concentrated form of fluoride to the teeth. They prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in the mouth. Fluoride also helps remineralise early areas of decay and can reverse the earliest stages of tooth damage before a cavity fully forms. At London Dental Specialists, our fluoride treatments provide significantly higher concentrations of fluoride than what's available in toothpastes or mouth rinses.
For most adults, professional fluoride treatments are recommended every 6-12 months during regular dental check-ups. However, patients with higher cavity risk may benefit from more frequent applications, possibly every 3-4 months. Risk factors include dry mouth, gum recession, history of frequent cavities, or ongoing orthodontic treatment. Your dentist at London Dental Specialists will assess your specific needs and recommend a personalised fluoride treatment schedule.
Fluoride treatments can reverse very early-stage cavities that have only affected the outer enamel layer (known as incipient lesions or white spot lesions). Once decay has progressed beyond the enamel into the dentin layer, fluoride cannot repair the damage, though it may help slow progression. Early detection through regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists allows us to identify and treat decay at its most reversible stages.
Yes, fluoride treatments are safe and particularly beneficial for children. Children's developing teeth are more susceptible to decay, making preventive measures crucial. Our dentists carefully control the amount of fluoride used based on the child's age and risk factors. The recommended fluoride intake varies by age: children 4-8 years need about 1 mg daily, 9-13 years need 2 mg daily, and teenagers 14-18 years need 3 mg daily. Professional applications at London Dental Specialists are performed with appropriate precautions to ensure safety.
During a professional fluoride treatment at London Dental Specialists, we follow these steps:
The procedure is quick, painless and highly effective at strengthening your teeth against decay.
Adults absolutely benefit from fluoride treatments, not just children. Many adults have risk factors that make them susceptible to cavities, including gum recession (which exposes vulnerable root surfaces), dry mouth (often caused by medications or medical conditions), and previous dental work. Professional fluoride treatments provide extra protection for all age groups. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend fluoride treatments for adults with high cavity risk, those with sensitive teeth, and patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Professional fluoride treatments applied by our dentists at London Dental Specialists have minimal risk of side effects when used appropriately. You might experience a temporary change in taste sensation or slight nausea if some fluoride is swallowed, but these effects are transient. Dental fluorosis (white spots on teeth) only occurs during tooth development in childhood from excessive fluoride consumption over time, not from occasional professional treatments. Our dental team carefully controls the amount of fluoride used to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Fluoride treatments at London Dental Specialists are often included as part of routine dental check-ups and cleanings. For standalone treatments, costs vary based on the type of application and individual needs. Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments, particularly for children. We recommend contacting our office directly for current pricing information and to verify your insurance coverage. Considering that fluoride treatments can help prevent more costly dental procedures in the future, they represent an excellent investment in your oral health.
