Without rads its not necessary to use flouride trays unless your dentist sees a reason the patient needs them. But, Ive never seen a non-radiated OC patient who used the flouride trays so its important you ask your dentist if your situation would require the trays. Patients who have rads are the ones who must pay special attention to their dental needs as rads can do serious damage to the mouth.
