Your teen is on the threshold of adulthood and deserves a beautiful, healthy smile as a send-off from childhood. At that age, it’s vital to establish healthy habits and regular care that can follow them out into the world.
Fortunately, all teenagers or adolescents from year nine until they celebrate their 18th birthday are eligible for primary dental care, and it’s free!
Dental Care Benefits for Teens in Dunedin
Free dental health services for teenagers include:
- Preventative Dental Care — Comprehensive dental exams, professional teeth cleans, oral health tips and advice, periodic dental x-rays, fluoride treatments and fissure sealants.
- General Dental Care — Cavity treatment, tooth-coloured fillings, tooth extractions and more.
Check-ups and dental cleans in Dunedin allow the dentist to spot emerging issues before they risk your teen’s oral health. Teeth cleans remove the ingredients that can cause tooth decay, gingivitis and oral infections.
Our fluoride treatments help strengthen teeth, while fissure sealants lock cavity-causing debris away from enamel.
By taking advantage of this dental benefit, teenagers can establish good oral hygiene practices that can benefit them for a lifetime!
