Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Fluoride treatments strengthen children's enamel against decay. Our dentists apply them at our Primrose Hill practice.
A consultation tells us whether your child needs professional fluoride, which form suits them, and how often it should be repeated.
Our clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
Weak or newly erupted enamel is vulnerable to acid from food and plaque. Once decay gets through, it can spread and the tooth may need a filling or a crown. We provide paediatric dentistry in London that aims to stop decay before it starts, and fluoride is one of the simplest tools for that.
Where we need to check between the teeth, we take dental x-rays. Alongside fluoride, we work on the brushing habits that keep plaque off the teeth in the first place.
We diagnose before we treat. Our dentists, with the practice led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, assess your child's decay risk and recommend fluoride only where it will help, so you avoid unnecessary treatment and see a clear plan before any work begins.
Fees are itemised. You can read about paediatric dentistry costs in London to plan ahead. If decay has already started, we also provide children's fillings to restore the tooth.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Children at higher risk of decay benefit most: those with early white-spot lesions, a sugary diet, braces, or a history of cavities. Noticing early signs of decay can feel alarming, but early intervention is the most effective way to protect a child's teeth. Our dentists assess each child and may suggest silver diamine fluoride where a cavity has already formed. We keep the visit calm and predictable. Our children's dental aftercare guide has more on home care. To find out whether fluoride is right for your child, request a clinical assessment.
We examine your child's teeth for areas of weakness during children's dental exams and cleanings and decide whether a professional application is needed.
We paint the fluoride onto the tooth surfaces, concentrating on the areas most prone to decay. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
We tell you what to avoid for the rest of the day so the fluoride stays on the teeth long enough to work, and how to keep the benefit going at home.
We track the teeth at regular reviews and decide when the next application is due. We also check any teeth affected by children's dental trauma, which can be more vulnerable.
Fluoride sits inside a wider preventive plan. Our dentists set the schedule from your child's individual risk factors.
Our clinical team provides children's care at our Primrose Hill practice, from prevention through to restoration.
Where a tooth needs repair, our dentists use tooth-coloured composite resin. We also offer nutrition advice for families, since diet does much of the work of keeping teeth free of decay.
We keep visits calm and unhurried, give honest options, and never pressure a family into treatment. That includes deciding together on preventive steps such as fissure sealants.
Yes. Fluoride strengthens enamel and can help early decay to remineralise before it becomes a cavity. That is why we use it for children at risk.
Costs depend on your child's needs. We give a full breakdown of fees at the initial consultation.
The protection wears down over months, faster with a sugary diet. We recommend a recall interval based on your child's risk.
We choose the form after examining your child's teeth and considering their age. Good home care supports the treatment; see dental hygiene for children and teens.
Our dentists decide the right fluoride application for your child during a children's dental consultation, which you can book here. We assess the state of the enamel and match the treatment to your child's risk of decay.
