For "root decay" are "all night" fluoride treatments the only answer?

My dentist said I have the beginings of "root decay" (I'm 62) involving
2 crowns and it may get worse as I have many crowns and bridges. I
read up on the topic and 'understand that root decay spreads quickly
and is very damaging to the teeth.
The dentist told me to brush with a special presciption toothpaste
with fluroide and to leave it on my teeth all night. I'm to do this
for at least 3 weeks til my appointment wherein he can begin working on
the crowns in question.
I am not keen on getting all this fluoride in my system and wonder if a
solution of say, hydrogen peroxide (diluted) could be as effective.
Thanks for any advice.
