How many free visits can Rangatahi have?

Rangatahi are entitled to one free dental checkup each year. You can also make additional free appointments in between checkups if you notice any other dental issues like sore teeth. Our friendly and experienced team will let you know if your Rangatahi needs work done that’s not covered by the Ministry of Health.

What does the free Dental checkup involve?

We’ll examine your Rangatahi’s mouth which includes scaling/cleaning treatment and radiographs to check between the teeth when required. We'll need a Parent/Guardian to be at the first appointment to discuss our treatment plan. We’ll also run through oral health education and assess if any orthodontic treatment is required.
Please note: The only rangatahi treatments that are not covered by the Ministry of Health are cosmetic dental treatment and orthodontic related treatment.
