I was not offered fluoride trays, but instead I was told to use Colgate's Duraphat 2800ppm Fluoride toothpaste (on prescription but I think it can be bought over the counter) 3 or 4 times a day and importantly was to spit out the fluoride but not rinse or take anything orally for 30 mins, and to floss once at the end of the day.
Good luck with rads, remember eating and drinking should be your main at the minute.
