Free Teen Dental Care
Dental care is free for all New Zealand kids until their 18th birthday. Until year 9 children are seen by the school dental service and from year 9 they see a dentist. Dentist can see below year 9 kids for free dental care only when they have a referral letter from school dental nurse or if there are any emergencies.

If not parents can choose to pay a private fee for below year-9 kids to get regular check-ups and treatment done by a dentist. Orthodontics (braces) and any dental treatment relating to orthodontics is not covered by this service and privates fees will be charged. For more information, please contact us.

ACC
Unfortunately accidents can happen at any time. No matter how small or large the injury to the teeth or gums is, it is important to have the injury assessed and registered with ACC as soon as possible. This means that in the future if there is any problem relating to the injured tooth, treatment is covered mostly by ACC. Dentist @ Parkside is a registered provider for ACC dental treatments. Mahi and team are highly experienced in dealing with all forms of dental trauma and emergency care.

Treatment under ACC is often free of charge for children below 18 years except for complex treatments and adults can have an additional surcharge.
