What are Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride treatments are professional dental procedures where a dentist or hygienist applies concentrated fluoride to the teeth in the form of gel, foam, or varnish during a routine dental exam or cleaning. This natural mineral strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars, effectively preventing tooth decay, slowing its progression, or stopping it from worsening. The treatment is especially beneficial for individuals with higher risk of tooth decay, dry mouth, or poor oral hygiene, with effects typically lasting three to six months, providing an important supplement to regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and is completely painless, taking just a few minutes to apply.

The fluoride treatment itself involves the careful application of a fluoride varnish, gel, or foam to your teeth, a procedure that is both quick and painless.

Conditions We Treat With Fluoride Treatments

London Dental Specialists treats multiple conditions with Fluoride Treatments in South Kensington, helping patients achieve better oral health. We assess each condition carefully to ensure Fluoride Treatments is the most effective treatment option. Our team explains how Fluoride Treatments can resolve your specific dental condition.


  • Tooth Decay: Fluoride treatments help prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.

  • Enamel Erosion: Professional fluoride applications create a protective barrier that helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel and reverse early signs of erosion.

  • Sensitive Teeth: Fluoride treatments can reduce tooth sensitivity by strengthening enamel and protecting exposed dentine.

  • High Cavity Risk: For patients with a history of frequent cavities, fluoride treatments provide additional protection beyond regular brushing and flossing.

  • Dry Mouth Conditions: Patients with reduced saliva flow benefit from fluoride's protective properties, as dry mouth increases cavity risk.

  • Early Stages of Decay: Fluoride can help remineralise teeth with early decay, potentially avoiding the need for fillings.

  • Post-Orthodontic Care: After braces removal, fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel that may have been compromised during orthodontic treatment.

  • Root Exposure: For patients with receding gums and exposed roots, fluoride provides protection to these vulnerable areas.

  • Paediatric Dental Care: Children's developing teeth particularly benefit from fluoride treatments to establish strong enamel formation.

  • Poor Oral Hygiene: For patients struggling with adequate brushing and flossing, fluoride provides an additional defence against decay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fluoride treatment and how does it work?


A fluoride treatment is a professional dental procedure that applies concentrated fluoride to the teeth to help prevent tooth decay. At London Dental Specialists, we offer fluoride treatments in several forms, including varnish that's painted directly onto the teeth and foam that's dispensed into custom trays placed over your teeth. Fluoride works by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. It can also reverse early signs of tooth decay by remineralising areas where acid has begun to damage the enamel.



How often should I get a fluoride treatment?


The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your individual oral health needs. For most patients at London Dental Specialists, we recommend professional fluoride treatments every 6-12 months during regular check-ups. However, if you have a high risk of developing tooth decay due to conditions like dry mouth, gum disease, or a history of frequent cavities, our dentists may recommend more frequent applications, possibly every 3-4 months. Your personalised treatment plan will be determined after a thorough assessment of your oral health.



How long does a fluoride treatment last?


The protective effects of a professional fluoride treatment typically last between three to six months. The fluoride varnish itself adheres to the teeth and leaves a thin, temporary coating that will naturally disappear when you brush your teeth. For optimal protection, we recommend maintaining regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists and following a consistent at-home oral hygiene routine that includes brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and daily flossing.



Is fluoride treatment painful?


No, fluoride treatments at London Dental Specialists are completely painless. When applying fluoride varnish, our dentists simply paint the solution onto your teeth using a small brush. For foam or gel applications, we place a comfortable tray filled with the fluoride solution over your teeth for just 1-2 minutes. The procedure is non-invasive, quick, and causes no discomfort. Many patients describe the taste as slightly minty or neutral, and there's no recovery time needed after treatment.



Are there any side effects of fluoride treatments?


Professional fluoride treatments at London Dental Specialists are safe and have minimal risk of side effects when applied correctly. Some patients may experience a temporary change in taste sensation after the treatment. In rare cases, excessive fluoride exposure over time can lead to dental fluorosis, which appears as white spots on teeth, but this is extremely unlikely with professional applications. Our dentists carefully control the amount of fluoride used in treatments to ensure safety while maximising benefits.



Who can benefit from fluoride treatments?


Fluoride treatments can benefit patients of all ages at London Dental Specialists. They are particularly beneficial for:


  • Children and teenagers who may be more susceptible to cavities

  • Adults with receding gums that expose more of the tooth surface

  • Patients with dry mouth conditions (xerostomia)

  • People with existing dental work like crowns or bridges

  • Individuals with braces or orthodontic appliances

  • Those with a history of frequent cavities

  • Patients undergoing radiation therapy that may affect oral health


Our dentists will assess your specific needs to determine if fluoride treatment is right for you.



What should I do after receiving a fluoride treatment?


After receiving a fluoride treatment at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:


  • Waiting at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking to allow the fluoride to fully absorb

  • Avoiding hot drinks and alcohol for at least 4-6 hours

  • Not brushing or flossing your teeth for at least 4-6 hours after treatment

  • Consuming only soft foods for the remainder of the day if possible

  • Continuing your regular oral hygiene routine the following day


These guidelines help maximise the effectiveness of your fluoride treatment and ensure optimal protection for your teeth.



How much does a fluoride treatment cost at London Dental Specialists?


At London Dental Specialists, fluoride treatments are often included as part of routine dental check-ups and cleanings. For standalone treatments, the cost typically ranges based on the type of application and individual needs. We strive to keep our fluoride treatments affordable as they are an important preventive measure. Please contact our office directly for the most current pricing information, as costs may vary. We also offer various payment plans and work with several dental insurance providers who may cover part or all of the treatment cost.



Can fluoride treatments replace regular brushing and flossing?


No, fluoride treatments at London Dental Specialists are designed to complement, not replace, your daily oral hygiene routine. While these treatments provide valuable protection against tooth decay, they work best when combined with proper brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, a balanced diet low in sugary foods and drinks, and regular dental check-ups. Professional fluoride applications provide a higher concentration of fluoride than what's available in over-the-counter products, offering additional protection alongside your home care routine.
