Caring for the Community She Calls Home
With over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Shanu Sandhu brings warmth, compassion, and precision to her role at Pacific Smiles Dental Balgowlah. A University of Sydney graduate, Dr. Sandhu has been practising for 12 years, with the last 8 spent caring for patients across the Pacific Smiles network. Living locally, she chose to practise in Balgowlah to give back to a community she deeply values for its close-knit atmosphere.
Gentle Dentistry with a Focus on Children
Dr. Sandhu’s special interest in children’s dentistry is one of her defining traits. She is passionate about creating a calm and welcoming environment for children, helping them build a positive relationship with oral health from an early age. Her gentle approach and clear communication make her a trusted favourite among local families.
A Global Perspective with a Local Heart
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Sandhu’s compassion has extended overseas, where she volunteered as a dentist in refugee camps in Greece, providing essential dental care to displaced individuals. This humanitarian work reflects her deep commitment to patient-centred care and empathy in every interaction.
Life Beyond Dentistry
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Dr. Sandhu travelling, discovering the best of Sydney’s food and wine scene, or enjoying a peaceful yoga session. These activities not only recharge her but keep her grounded and connected with her passions.
Dr. Sandhu’s Tip for a Healthy Smile
“Always use a soft toothbrush and make sure to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before brushing—this helps protect your enamel and keeps your smile at its best.”
