Dentist who is good with children

[EGL]

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a dentist who's good with children? My 3.5 yr old needs his first dentist's appointment. Don't mind paying for private dentist... Any advice much appreciated.

I took my 3.5 yr old to her first dentist appointment recently, choosing the dentist based on forum advice. East Dulwich Dental on Forest Hill Rd. All recommendations were for Dentist Bunmi. She wasn't available so we were seen by Laleh, who was great. My daughter was nervous so I sat in the chair and she initially sat wrapped around me, but despite that, Laleh managed to get her to engage, open her mouth and do everything she needed to do. She did it very quickly too. We then had a whole day of overexcited dentist roleplay and we are looking forward to the next visit. It was NHS so FREE!

Bunmi is amazing - my kids loved their first visit to the dentist with her.

Nicola at the Dulwich dental surgery (near post office / dry cleaner on Lordship Lane) is lovely - always smiley, patient, calm... just what I need with a 3.5 yr old - he gets a sticker if he's good :)
