I wanted to see what dentists have prescribed to others for their teeth. I've done some digging and it seems most dentists have prescribed fluoride tray use every day but a good amount of previous posts did not say for how long each day.

My dentist gave my fluoride trays and told me to put them in 1x per week for 30 minutes and then no water/food for 30 additional minutes. She gave me Oxyfresh sodium fluoride 0.22% to use. I asked her about using it every day and she said I have good teeth with no issues and she thinks it is overkill, but if I wanted to I could do it daily.

I wanted to see what others do and if potentially this is a sign my current dentist may not be the best person to manage my dental care post radiation.

Thanks
