What has Dentistry got to do with our General Health?
Our smiles are really important and can even have a significant impact on our general health. Professor Iain Chapple, head of our School of Dentistry, explains why gum health is linked to things like heart disease and diabetes and why our oral health is so important.
We know that some people can get a little anxious about having to visit the dentist for treatment, so here at The Walk in Dental Centre we can help.
We now offer Inhalation Sedation, otherwise known as “Happy Gas” to our patients who feel a little nervous about their visit, suitable for both adults and children alike.
Nitrous oxide, or ‘laughing gas’ has a pleasant smelling odour and is used to help reduce dental anxiety. The gas completely leaves the body within 3-5 minutes and you can safely go home.
We have scented masks available in the following flavours:
Plain | Strawberry | Vanilla | Bubblegum | Orange
So you can pick your favourite scent to use,
and YES that does include the adults!

Give the practice a call and our dedicated team will be more than happy to help with any queries.
May we wish everybody a Happy Easter and a big THANK YOU to all those who took part in our Walk-In Dental Centre Colouring Competition.
We received an overwhelming number of entries and the standard of colouring was off the scale. It was great to see the enthusiasm of the children as they returned their artwork. Our reception area was covered with beautiful pictures, and they really brightened up our surgery.
Below are the winning entries and prizes being awarded to the lucky winners

After all the festivities we think our desk is now looking a little bit plain. So to brighten it up we have decided to run a colouring competition. It is open to anybody 12 years and under (and best of all the kids didn’t even have to be patients of ours to enter). We will be pinning all entries to the desk and then at the end of the competition there will be a 1st, 2nd and runner up prize, and we have some great prizes to give away. Entry is easy, simply collect a sheet from us at the practice or download and print at home. We only ask that all pictures are returned to us in time for the closing date. Whether you have brothers, sisters, grand children, nieces, nephews or your next door neighbour has youngsters, get them to join in the fun and brighten our day.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) was introduced by the federal government to provide dental assistance for eligible families.
A $1000 grant is provided over a two calendar year period to use on a range of dental services including examinations, routine cleaning, fillings, and root canals. This ensures your child’s teeth get the assistance they need.
To discover more about this beneficial program, and whether your child is eligible, call (08) 6161 6405 and one of our friendly team members will assist you.
Alternatively you can call Medicare on 132 011 or visit the Department of Human Services website.
