Contracted
Dentists (Providers of Free Dental Care for Adolescents)
If a dentist has a contract
with the District Health Board then the basic dental care
for adolescents will be provided free. The District Health
Board will pay for the treatment. This free treatment does
not include orthodontic treatment or accidents normally
covered under ACC. Please note that not all white
fillings are free. If you request white fillings, or if
the dentist will only provide white fillings, please check
with the dentist first to see if there is a fee for this
service.
If your chosen Dentist
does not have a contract with the District Health Board,
then services will not be free.
This contract has a focus
on prevention and allows the dentist to provide all necessary
treatments. This service is available to all adolescents
up until the 18th birthday whether they are at school, tertiary
study or working.
