Free adolescent care

We have a contract with the local district health board to provide free publicly funded dental care for adolescents who are at their first year of college through to age 18.

If you are at high school, attending a training course, working or unemployed you are entitled to receive free dental care every year, up until your 18th birthday.

This includes:
● An annual check up
● X-rays where necessary
● Hygiene care to remove plaque, staining and tartar
● Treatment of tooth decay (holes/cavities) with fillings
● Removal (extraction) of any teeth that have been badly affected by tooth decay or damaged

Although dental care is free for all children, our practice caters only for adolescents. This includes children attending their first year of college (Yr 9) through to their 18th birthday.

If you have a child younger than this, and they need dental care please phone 0800 TALK TEETH (0800 825 583).
