A reminder for rangatahi and whānau that you can access free dental care until your 18th birthday.

Please visit your dentist for an annual check-up. Yearly dental check-ups are one of the best ways to prevent poor oral health and protect youthful smiles.

If you can’t remember what dentist you are enrolled with or have any questions, contact the Adolescent Regional Coordinator at Te Whatu Ora – Waitaha Canterbury on the following details.

If you are close to your 18th birthday, we recommend you make an appointment now.
