At Sunny Coast Dental, we strive to make Childrens Dental and their first dental visit a positive and enjoyable experience. Our dentists are experienced in working with children and aim to create a comfortable environment to avoid dental anxiety. Regular dental check-up’s during childhood are crucial to prevent dental problems from progressing into more serious issues.
Is your child nervous to see the dentist? Does your child have sensory issues that need to be met? At Sunny Coast Dental we have a few tools to help cater for your child’s needs and to help them feel at ease when they visit us.
Some of the things we use include:
🦷 Weighted blankets to calm the nervous system
🦷 Noise cancelling headphones
🦷 TV’s streaming Netflix
🦷 Seeing the same dentist every time to build a trusting relationship
🦷 Kids colouring and toy station
🦷 Happy gas
🦷 Bravery gift
