For many, a visit to the dentist can be quite unnerving, even upsetting. From young children through to adults and seniors, nerves can sometimes get the better of us.
Our calm, gentle and experienced dentists here at the Walk-In Dental Centre aim to make everyone feel relaxed from the moment they enter our practice. For most of us, this calm atmosphere is enough to overcome our worries.
We fully understand the fear or anxiety for others, brought on simply by the thought of the dentist. This is where we can help with ‘Inhalation Sedation’, or laughing gas as it is sometimes known.
What is Inhalation Sedation?
Nitrous oxide or ‘laughing gas’ has a pleasant smelling odour and is used to help reduce dental anxiety and offers pain-free dentistry.
Think of it as drifting into a deeply relaxed state where you will not feel, or sometimes even remember, your treatment.
The gas initiates a pleasant feeling, is totally harmless, and 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.
The Walk-In Dental Centre, located on Highclere Boulevard in Marangaroo, is a friendly and family-focussed dental practice who offer general dentist and emergency dental treatment as well as a range of additional services including – Facial Aesthetics, Snap-On-Smile, Invisalign Braces and Inhalation Sedation.
We are preferred providers with HBF, HCF, NIB & Smile.com.au. We welcome all major health insurance providers and also Bulk Bill for children eligible under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

Simply stated, electric toothbrushes provide us to 5x more plaque removal than a manual toothbrush which also helps to improve gum health.
Because the brushing action is done for you, many people find using an electric toothbrush easier than a manual one. Speak with your dentist for advice and guidance on correct brushing techniques for different type of toothbrushes.
Is it time to make the switch?
Several scientific studies have shown electric toothbrushes to be more effective at removing plaque (bacteria) from teeth and reducing gingivitis (bleeding gums). Having less plaque on your teeth will help reduce the risk of developing tooth decay.
Manual Toothbrushes
Manual brushes are cheap to buy, easily portable and can be effective at cleaning your teeth if used correctly. You are more likely to be able to scrub and potentially over brush your teeth/gums with a manual brush. Sometimes the size of a manual brush can be too big to get to the harder to clean areas of your mouth.
Electric Toothbrushes
Electric toothbrushes are more expensive to buy and need to be recharged on a regular basis to be effective. They will remove more plaque from your teeth if used as directed and will help people with limited manual dexterity and those who tend to rush brushing their teeth. Timers and pressure sensors will help do a better job and prevent over brushing. The smaller head will make it easier to clean the harder to reach areas. Your teeth will feel cleaner having used an electric toothbrush.
New Year, New Allowance for your Health Insurance
In most cases, your health insurance fund will
have recently reset at the beginning of the year.
This includes all of your dental extras cover.
Use it, don’t lose it
