Do you hate going to the dentist?
Many Australians have had bad or even traumatic experiences with dental work in the past, it's no wonder that almost half of us suffer from dental anxiety! Whether you're afraid, intimidated or anxious about your next visit—you aren't alone.
The good news is that the priority in our Strathpine dental studio is to make our clients feel relaxed and comfortable—two feelings you'll rarely find at dental offices. At Cole Dental we pride ourselves in the relationships we've built with our clients, and our sensitivity and gentleness are what keeps them coming back.
Our team has a number of tricks up our sleeve when it comes to easing dental phobias and tension.
For those who find dental visits stressful, we can provide 'laughing gas' (nitrous oxide). Nitrous oxide is a gas that when inhaled can calm nerves and reduce levels of pain. If you feel that it might be a helpful option for you, be sure to chat with us about it.
In addition, our team has undertaken specialised training in assisting nervous patients—they're here to listen and offer you caring support. If you're struggling we encourage you to let us know. We truly understand and will go above and beyond to improve your experience.
Most importantly we want to make you 'smile' as well as fixing and maintaining it.

Call Cole Dental on 07 3205 5811 any time during our opening hours and we will strive to accommodate your emergency and offer the first available appointment.
If you, or a family member has had a tooth knocked out, be sure to try and locate the tooth. Don’t handle it by the delicate root and resist the temptation to clean it off with water. The root membrane is delicate and is needed intact to encourage re-attachment. If the tooth is clean place it gently back in its socket immediately and apply slight pressure. If the tooth is dirty try and rinse it using milk and then place it back in its socket. Otherwise keep the tooth moist by placing it in a glass of milk or tuck it into your cheek. Make fast tracks to the dentist. If you can be there within 30 minutes, there’s an 85% chance the tooth will survive.
