25.01.2022 With the recent easing of restrictions on elective surgery, Dentistry is now operating on Level 2 service restrictions once again. This means routine procedures like check ups, cleaning (hand scaling), dentures, some orthodontics, crowns and fillings are once again available as procedures. The phone number remains the same and the practice can be contacted on 02 6836 1761. The practice will be open further days again and patients will still be asked a series of screening ques...tions before being seen to protect our staff and other patients from COVID-19. We would like to thank all our patients with their understanding over the past 3-4 weeks of Level 3. If you have an appointment on hold Cathy will be in touch shortly to schedule you a time. We look forward to once again welcoming our patients through the doors!

24.01.2022 Mouth health products are now available for sale in our rooms. More products will be arriving soon along with a complete range of Piksters. Each month we will also have select products on special so why not pop in and see what we have. This month it is Sensodyne for $5.98

24.01.2022 Thanks Cobar Signs for the fresh new look!

24.01.2022 Due to the unreliability of the NBN at our premises, if you have been trying to get hold of us, please leave a message on our message bank and we will get back to you. Keep in mind we may be ringing from our mobiles which may appear as a private number. For the same reason, if we are talking to you and we are disconnected, please accept or apologies in advance. If we have your details we will call you back. Thank you for understanding while we are trying to get this fixed.

23.01.2022 Due to intermittent power caused by this lovely storm and rain the surgery will be closed from 3pm this afternoon to protect the equipment. If you would like an appointment please leave a message and we will get back to you first thing in the morning! Stay safe the lightning is striking in town!

23.01.2022 Our Red Group were lucky enough to be visited by Dr Caroline Bowman as well today!! The kids loved having you here! Lucky after our teeth is so important and be...ing able to have the dentist come and show the children how to clean properly and what foods and drink are important for our teeth. Being familiar with the dentist and the different tools that they use will help the children feel much more comfortable when they next visit the dentist! Thank you again Caroline and The Dentists of Cobar! We have really appreciated you coming in to visit us this week!! See more

22.01.2022 We will be changing over to the NBN tomorrow (Monday 30/04/18) so there will be an expected outage of our phone line at some stage. If you have trouble getting through please leave a message and we'll endeavour to get back to you. Hopefully the phone can be diverted during the outage but we're unsure if this will be possible. We thank all of our patients for their PATIENCE!

18.01.2022 Don't be that guy! Brush twice a day, for 2 minutes!

18.01.2022 It's more important than ever to be taking care of yourself! Cook yourself something nice (or support one of our local businesses still offering takeaway), take a shower, do your hair and most importantly, brush your teeth! Seriously guys, keep those pearly whites nice. Clean them twice a day and don't have too many snacks while you're watching Netflix! If you have a dental emergency give us a call on 02 6836 1761. We can still look after you if you are in pain. The Australia...n Dental Association has provided a good list of what constitutes a dental emergency, if you are unsure: A dental emergency is a situation that requires immediate treatment. It may involve conditions that cause severe pain, infection or directly affect your health. This can include: Swelling affecting your mouth, face and/or neck. Difficulty opening your mouth, swallowing or breathing (unrelated to COVID-19). Damage to your mouth or jaw following an accident or injury causing loss of a tooth or teeth being moved from their original position in the mouth. Severe dental pain that is affecting your sleep and/or does not subside with use of pain-relief medications. Tooth fracture where the nerve inside the tooth becomes exposed (which may or may not include bleeding). Ulcers present in the mouth for 3 weeks or longer. Wire or bracket fractures in orthodontic patients. Uncontrolled bleeding post-oral surgery. Patients referred by a doctor for medically necessary dental care or for urgent dental care prior to surgery that cannot be delayed. Treatment of a dental condition that can directly affect your health, for example, remove of an oral cancer lesion from inside the mouth.

18.01.2022 Closed for renovations! The clinic will re-open next Tuesday 6th of November. For emergencies please contact Nyngan Dental or Warren Dental Clinic. We appreciate your patience while the surgery undergoes a much needed facelift!

18.01.2022 Today our thoughts are with Dr Charlie, who is spending some time with his family following the passing of his grandfather, Alan Thompson. Alan passed away peacefully yesterday, after spending the day with some of his family.

17.01.2022 Altered Opening Hours Due to staff availability the practice will have altered opening hours and limited appointments this week. Monday 2nd Sept 9:00am-6:00pm... Tuesday 3rd Sept 9:00am-2:00pm Wednesday 4th Sept 9:00am-6:00pm Thursday 5th Sept 9:00am-2:00pm Friday 6th Sept 9:00am-1:00pm Normal opening hours will resume next week. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

17.01.2022 Did you see this in the paper this week? Great article, and it was wonderful to have a chat with Tooth Fairy herself!

17.01.2022 We are open again to help with all your dental needs. Our surgery is still undergoing its transformation, however we have been able to get enough done so that we can assist you when needed. There may be a little more noise then usual, however our level of care will not be affected. ... Thank you to all our patients and the community for understanding. We all appreciate your patience. We will post pictures of our wonderful transformation once complete.

17.01.2022 There is nothing fair about the way private health insurers treat consumers! If you pay the same premium, you should get exactly the same rebate. Talk to your ...patients. Tell your member of parliament. Same policy. Same treatment. Same rebate. Optometry Australia Chiropractors' Association of Australia Australian Physiotherapy Association See more

17.01.2022 We had a very special patient in this morning, thankfully he had no cavities!

13.01.2022 Dentistry is now operating on Level 3 service restrictions, which means routine procedures like check ups, cleaning and some fillings are no longer available. Your friendly local dentists can still help you out, and we really want to make sure none of you end up at the hospital with your dental problems. That puts you at risk and it's also not the place for toothaches! So please! Call us on 02 68361761 if you have an urgent dental problem. These include:... 1) Toothache 2) Ulcerations 3) Broken teeth causing discomfort 4) Dental trauma The practice will be open by appointment only, and patients will be asked a series of screening questions before being seen. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope that all our patients remain safe and well through this difficult time.

13.01.2022 Something to consider as the kids go back to school!

11.01.2022 We hit a big milestone yesterday! Thompson Family Dental is now a fully accredited dental practice through QIP! What does this mean? Patients can continue to expect the highest standards of care right here in Cobar! Many thanks to Lorrain Sharples and the rest of the team for all of their hard work over the last 6 months!

11.01.2022 Have you had a chance to pop in and have a look at our products for sale? Some are marked at half price so why not grab a bargain?

10.01.2022 Sorry to anyone who has been trying to call, our phone line has been down since Friday. Please call 0435607518 as an alternative, or feel free to drop in!

10.01.2022 To all of our wonderful patients, In these uncertain times we thought we would give you an update on the practice and precautions we are putting in place to protect you and our staff against the COVID-19 pandemic. As dental practices across NSW close their doors we will endeavour to service you for as long as we can. The ADA and AHPPC have reccomended that all practices move to Level 2 (Reduce) precautions. This places a procedural limit on the practice and excludes routine d...entistry such as cleans and fillings which require the high speed drill being performed so as to reduce the potential creation of aerosols which may drive the spread of the virus. While there are no confirmed cases in Cobar at this stage, prevention is better than the cure and we will do our bit as the rest of the country currently is. These procedural restrictions are likely to be ramped up in the coming weeks and we would encourage our patients to contact us if they have a toothache or even a niggle now before it is too late. At some point the shopfront may close as restrictions move along and the pandemic worsens but rest assured we will be on the end of the phone for consultations. If you have an upcoming appointment and you haven't yet been contacted assume it is still going ahead until you hear from us. If you have any cold or flu symptoms please do not attend and contact us by phone! Stay safe all and we will keep you posted on any changes. Regards, The Team Thompson Family Dental

10.01.2022 We are still closed :( The problems our builder has experienced would make great episodes of The Block however we are confident that we have sorted all the problems and are moving forward. Stay tuned for updates but we should be open in the next day or two. ... Again we apologise for the inconvenience.

If you have been trying to call us and haven't succeeded, please contact us via Facebook or email [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding while we sort out these issues.

07.01.2022 The government has announced its replacement for the CDBS. Known as the Child and Adult Public Dental Scheme (caPDS), it moves delivery of services wholly to th...e already-overburdened public system. While the government claims funding will increase under the caPDS, the new scheme represents an approximate $200m a year cut in dental services for children. The ADA still maintains that the CDBS is the best way to ensure that children receive the vital dental care they need. http://bit.ly/1VUnkOe

06.01.2022 Here is a very helpful video for all parents, grandparents and carers - especially during the school holidays!!! http://protectingtinyteeth.com.au/

03.01.2022 Level 1 Restrictions: The Australian Health Protection Principle Committee has approved the move from Level 2 restrictions to Level 1 effective form Friday 8th May 2020. What this means is we can now treat patients utilising all procedures under standard precautions which have been used by the practice prior to the COVID-19 pandemic with the addition of screening processes which have been adopted on Level 2 and 3 and ask that patients continue to respect social distancing gui...delines. If you have an appointment scheduled or are calling to book but answer YES to any of the following pre-screening questions please contact us to reschedule or discuss your options; ~ Arrived from overseas in the last 14 days ~ Have been in contact with a known or suspect case of COVID-19 ~ Resided in or visited a known high-risk area with a cluster of cases ~ Recently tested positive for COVID-19 ~ Demonstrate any of the following symptoms: - Fever - Cough - Sore throat - Shortness of breath - Fatigue - Recent loss of smell or taste - Other respiratory symptoms - Severe co-morbidities which compromise immunity We look forward to seeing all of our patients again but do ask everybody to continue to do their bit to keep the community safe!
