As a dental phobia-friendly practice, the team at Sunlight Dental Practice understands that for many children, visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming — particularly those with anxiety, sensory sensitivities or previous difficult experiences. Rather than rushing treatment, the practice focuses on acclimatisation, gently helping children become familiar with the clinic, equipment and staff at their own pace.

Initial appointments are often centred around simply getting to know the child, allowing them to explore the surroundings and build trust with the dental team before progressing to check-ups, polishing or procedures. Located at 215 New Chester Road in Port Sunlight, the clinic is easy to get to and works with adult and child patients across the North West.

A key part of the practice’s approach is its understanding of the psychology of language. Staff carefully avoid potentially triggering words such as “drill” or “pain”, instead using calm, child-friendly explanations to help patients feel safe and reassured. Children are also encouraged to see how equipment works and become involved in the process, helping remove fear of the unknown.

Practice Co-Owner, Dr. Kate Blundell, explains: “We have a very calm and caring team here at Sunlight Dental Practice. It fills us with joy when parents praise the staff for their calm, patient and understanding manner and we receive so many thank you cards.”

She continues: “One of our experts, Sarah, has a special interest in paediatric dentistry and has undertaken additional training in inhalation sedation for children and adults. She is also a lecturer at Liverpool University Dental Hospital, bringing a wealth of expertise and experience in caring for anxious young patients, and creating a less traumatic experience for those who are particularly nervous.”

Importantly, children remain in control throughout appointments, with the team always stopping immediately whenever a child asks. A much-loved tiger teddy accompanies children throughout procedures, providing reassurance and familiarity, while every child receives a gift bag afterwards containing a sticker, toothbrush and other small gifts to create a positive final experience.
Dr. Kate Blundell explains: “We’re living in a world where more children need additional emotional support and reassurance, and it’s vital that we respond to those individual needs. A one-size-fits-all approach is no longer enough. It’s not sufficient simply to say we are calm and caring — we must also have the right qualifications, procedures and practices in place to provide meaningful support. We have already been doing a great deal in this area, but our newly tailored approach takes that commitment to the next level.”

The clinic’s specialised tailored Patient Plan has been carefully designed to provide the extra time and appointments many children need to feel comfortable. The plan includes more visits to help familiarise children with the dentist and surroundings, along with extended appointment times tailored to the individual child’s needs.
Priced from just £9 per month, the plan includes check-ups, hygienist appointments and 20% discount on many procedures, helping parents access ongoing expert care in an affordable and supportive way. The newly introduced plan means that extra time, care and attention can be given to children who are particularly anxious about the prospect of dental appointments.
