    Frequently Asked Questions About Our Fluoride Treatments in London, UK

    Considering Fluoride Treatments? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
    What is a fluoride treatment and how does it protect teeth?

    A fluoride treatment is a professional dental procedure that applies concentrated fluoride directly to the teeth to prevent tooth decay and strengthen enamel. The treatment works by remineralising weak spots in tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.

    Professional fluoride treatments typically come in the form of a varnish, foam, or gel that contains a much higher concentration of fluoride than what's found in toothpaste or fluoridated water. The treatment is painless and takes just a few minutes to apply, with protective benefits lasting between three to six months.

    • Types of Fluoride Treatments:
      • Fluoride varnish - painted directly onto teeth
      • Foam application - applied via custom-fitted trays
      • Gel treatment - brushed onto tooth surfaces

    At London Dental Specialists, our fluoride treatments are particularly beneficial for:

    • Patients with high cavity risk
    • Those with sensitive teeth
    • People with dry mouth conditions
    • Patients with existing dental work

    Post-Treatment Care:

    • Wait 30 minutes before eating or drinking
    • Avoid hot drinks and acidic beverages for 6 hours
    • Don't brush teeth until the following morning
    • Continue regular oral hygiene routine after treatment period
