🦷 Root canal? Don’t panic, it’s here to help!
Root canals have a scary reputation, but modern root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. Here’s why it might be the best thing for your smile:
✅ Stops the toothache. It removes infected or inflamed pulp, the real source of that throbbing pain.
✅ Saves your natural tooth. Keeping your own tooth helps maintain your bite, chewing strength and jawbone.
✅ Comfortable treatment. With local anaesthetic and modern techniques, most people say it feels much like getting a filling.
✅ Stops infection spreading. Treating the problem early protects nearby teeth and your overall health.
✅ Looks natural. A crown or filling afterwards restores the tooth’s look and function.
✅ Built to last. With good care, a treated tooth can last for many years, often a lifetime.
Got a lingering toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swollen gums? Don’t wait. Book in with Dr Rod O’Sullivan or Dr Sharon Pimley at Visage Dental & Dermal and let’s keep your smile healthy and pain-free. 💙

WHAT MAKES A GOOD DENTAL NURSE?
It’s not just about passing the instruments!
A great dental nurse is the person who:
Knows what the dentist needs before they even ask
🩵Keeps the surgery organised, clean and ready to go
🩵 Has the magical ability to find the instrument that has apparently disappeared
🩵 Keeps a calm head when things don’t go to plan
🩵 Makes nervous patients feel a little more comfortable
🩵 Can multitask like a professional juggler
🩵 Notices the little things — from a patient who needs reassurance to a dentist who needs a coffee!
🩵 Works as part of a team and always has their colleagues’ backs
🩵 Understands that infection control is serious business
🩵 And most importantly… genuinely cares about the patients sitting in the chair
A good dental nurse is often the quiet force behind a smooth dental appointment.
Meet Tisha!
Tisha joined our team this year and has already learned so much from our wonderful, experienced dental nurses.
We are so lucky at Visage to have such a supportive and dedicated team who are always willing to share their knowledge and help each other grow. 💙
A huge thank you to Eliza, Caroline, Katelyn and Tamsin for sharing your experience, knowledge and encouragement, and for helping Tisha become the very best dental nurse she can be!
We’re so proud to have you all as part of the Visage team!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD DENTAL RECEPTIONIST?
Meet Kellie!
As one of the friendly faces at our front desk, Kellie is often one of the first people our patients see when they walk through our door.
Being a dental receptionist is so much more than answering the phone and booking appointments!
A great dental receptionist is someone who:
Can answer the phone, check patients in, book appointments AND somehow keep a conversation going — all at the same time!
Welcomes every patient with a friendly smile and makes them feel comfortable from the moment they walk through the door.
Has the memory of an elephant — remembering names, appointments, messages and a thousand little details!
Can somehow make the appointment book work when everyone wants to come in at the same time!
Knows how to communicate with patients, dentists and the team — often translating “dentist speak” into something the rest of us understand!
Keeps calm when the phones are ringing, the waiting room is full and the dentist is asking, “Who’s next?”
And, of course, knows exactly when the team needs a coffee!
Naturally, Kellie doesn’t do it all on her own!
A big shout-out to Caroline and Katelyn, who you might also see behind the desk.
Thank you ladies for keeping Visage running smoothly.

R U OK? DAY 2026
We’re always reminding our patients to open wide and take care of their smiles… but today, we’re checking in on something just as important.
R U OK?
Take a moment to check in with your family, friends, workmates — and maybe even your favourite dental nurse! A simple question, a good listen and a little kindness can make a big difference.
Your smile matters. So do you. 💛

🦷 Book that dental check-up.
💗 Make that health appointment.
😴 Give yourself permission to rest.
🥗 Nourish your body.
🧘‍♀️ Take a little time for yourself.
💬 Ask the question you’ve been putting off.
Your health matters — and looking after your teeth and gums is an important part of looking after your overall wellbeing too.
