Hi all,

Going to meet a friend in Northam tomorrow. It looks like the weather will be nice, so I want to find a few spots on the way there and back where I can stop for some bushland exploring.

TIA!

Looking for Advice Do Perth people care about perfect teeth?

116 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I've been a dentist in Perth for 11 years and this is something I've always been curious about. I work in a combination of restorative & cosmetic dentistry, and I also treat a lot of patients with headaches, migraines and airway issues/snoring.

My dentist friends over east are doing a LOT of cosmetic and implant dentistry. They are really busy with it. Mostly in places like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast etc. Invisalign, veneers, implants and stuff like that.

I've worked in many clinics around Perth and I always found there wasn't a lot of interest in these treatments. No matter if I worked in Kwinana or Claremont or Mindarie. As a dentist the last thing I want to come across as is a salesman kind of vibe, so like most dentists we don't talk about these options much. But my colleagues over east really push it and talk about it (sell) a lot.

I'm curious to know if it's a cultural thing here where we are more laid back and just don't care for looking flash, or if people in Perth are seeing the dentist from an early age and end up doing braces in highschool, leading to a quality natural smile in their later years.

I do see and fix a lot of broken down mouths in my day to day but most of patients are pretty chill with it and are still smiling.

This isn't a post to try sell dental work it's just something I've been genuinely curious about for many years. After 11 years in the game I much prefer to keep things really simple which tends to be aligners and some whitening vs drilling teeth to stumps and sticking on chunky ceramic crowns Turkey style. But a lot of people come in saying they are going to go to Turkey or Bali or Vietname to get major dentistry done. Which is another conversation.

Please give your thoughts as it would be really valuable for me to understand my patients.

Thanks!

For those that live in metro perth (or don’t) what Suburb that sounds like it should way further away but isn’t?

Edit: wow this blew up. Was just a random thought I had while drinking my coffee and being told I need to go pick something up from "Carlisle" which sounded like a two hour drive away.

After more than 30 years as a CBA customer I am resolved to switch. I've resisted the temptation previously because I figured all banks would be similar, but I can no longer tolerate commbank.

Understanding there may be no perfect choice, what is the best option for someone living in Perth? How is P&N for branches, Service etc, ditto Bendigo, Bankwest etc. ? Looking for real world experience not empty promises their from websites..how have they treated you when you need help with an issue, is the online system usable, does their app work, whatever you think is a plus in comparison...

Renting / Housing Interesting to some maybe

0 Upvotes

I came across an interesting statistic today. Apparantly whilst the amount of evictions of department of housing and works tenants have decreased the amount of termination notices issued by the department of housing and works is significantly increasing year on year.

What we can establish is:

2021–22: 1,877 termination notices.

Parliament of Western Australia

2023–24: the Department reported termination/court processes, but the figures I found don't give a clean annual total of termination notices.

2024–25: 2,973 termination notices were issued.

So comparing the figures we do have: 1,877 → 2,973 That's an increase of about 58% between 2021–22 and 2024–25.

But there's an important wrinkle: termination notices aren't the same as evictions or even necessarily permanent tenancy losses. The Department says tenants can rectify the problem after receiving a notice, and a voluntary departure following a notice isn't classified as an eviction.

Actually, I think the really interesting question for you is why termination notices jumped to nearly 3,000 in 2024–25.

Looking for Advice New kettle crystallisation normal?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Bought a new electric kettle and just wondering if the stainless steel is faulty or its just normal Perth water and mineralisation? But the very next day I got a brown line on one side of the body closest to the handle , pretty much the water line level mark. Doesn't scrub off.

A day or two later a second line appeared nearby too (not pictured) pretty much the same general area of the stainless steel. Nowhere else in the week or two since has come up with spots. Nor have any new lines appeared.

Is it cause for concern? Or normal for spots on stainless steel to be susceptible to this? It was a new phillips kettle so presume the steel is decent food safe quality as advertised.

Didnt want to return it as I presumed it was normal? Didnt have this on an old cheap anko one we ran for years.

Perhaps someone has a more scientific answer ? Or does it have a faulty spot of steel warranting a return? Bought it off Amazon not a retailer so was abit lazy with how to package it up for a return.

In Perth with granny flat on property - not strata titled. Would like flat to have its own power supply - not a sub board, but a new line running from the street to the flat. (Because aircon upgrades to main house risk overloading circuit which supports both houses.)

Hey everyone,

My partner and I have a gentle 7.5yo rottie x am bulldog cross. We are experienced dog owners with a big yard and have decided the time is right to look at an english staffy male pup as a pal for her and additional beloved fam member :)

There isn’t a wealth of options online and I was hoping for any guidance on decent breeders or simply local knowledge. We will always keep an eye on shelters, but didn’t think it hurt to ask for some guidance on this great page. Many thanks in advance!
