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.
This sweet smelling gas is used throughout the procedure to give a feeling of euphoria or a little giddy. Due to it having no side effects, you are able to drive or use public transport after the treatment is completed.
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!
Would like to know more??
Give the practice a call and our dedicated team will be more than happy to help with any queries.

Colouring competition
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.
We would like to wish you all a very Happy Australia Day
The practice will be closed on Saturday 26th & Monday 28th January 2019.
We will be returning to normal hours from Tuesday 30th January.

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.
Unfortunately dental accidents happen quite often in children and adults. Teeth can be chipped, cracked, or become loose following a fall, sports injury or another trauma.
We urge that you get them checked by your dentist as quickly as possible to minimise long term damage. If you’re unsure at all please call us at The Walk-in Dental Centre and we will be more then happy to help.
Helpful Trauma Tips
- Locate the tooth and hold it by the wider (crown) part, not the pointy (root) part.
- If possible replant the tooth back into position in the mouth. Once in, gently bite down on soft cloth or tissue to hold the tooth in place. (Do not put the tooth back in if it is a baby tooth).
- If unable to replant the tooth store the tooth in milk or saliva and get to us as soon as possible, if outside of clinic hours call and we will be happy to help.
- If part of the tooth has broken relocate it and place it in milk or saliva and bring it to the clinic since our dentist may be able to reattach it to achieve the best aesthetic result.
- If you play sports whatever your age it’s a really good idea to get a custom-fitted mouthguard made by our dentist to minimise the chance of trauma to your teeth in the first place.
