Strengthen Your Child’s Teeth with Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps rebuild and harden tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid, plaque, and bacteria. At Radiant Smiles Dental Bundoora, Dr Chandni Passi and our caring team use fluoride treatments as part of a preventive approach to reduce your child’s risk of cavities, especially in growing teeth that may be more vulnerable.
Applied in the form of a varnish or gel after a professional clean, fluoride treatments are fast, comfortable, and highly effective. The application takes only a few minutes, and there’s no drilling, needles, or discomfort involved.
We proudly welcome families from Bundoora and nearby suburbs including Reservoir, Thomastown, Greensborough, Eltham, Watsonia, Macleod, Mill Park, Lalor, Rosanna, and beyond.

Fluoride is a small investment in your child’s smile that can prevent more serious problems down the track.
When Are Fluoride Treatments Recommended?
Fluoride treatments are suitable for most children and are especially helpful for those who:
- Are showing the first stages of enamel breakdown or have had cavities before
- Eat a sugary diet or snack frequently
- Are still learning proper brushing and flossing habits
- Do not have regular access to fluoridated drinking water
Your child’s dentist will assess their individual risk factors and may recommend fluoride applications every 6–12 months as part of their preventive care plan.
What to Expect During the Flouride Treatment

We begin with a gentle clean to remove plaque and debris from the teeth. - Application of Fluoride
