Hillcrest and Tamahere Dental Centre are proud to be able to provide free, quality dental care to adolescents from school Year 9 until they turn 18 in association with the Ministry of Health. It is important for people of all ages to attend for regular check-ups to prevent dental decay and gum disease, and to be able to quickly and effectively provide the necessary treatment when required. For children from birth to school Year 8 Please contact your local community dental clinic on 0800 TALK TEETH to make an appointment.
