We provide dental care for children under 13 through referrals from the New Zealand Adolescent and Child Oral Health Services (ARDS). These visits focus on prevention, early detection, and gentle treatment in a supportive environment.
Appointments may include examinations, X-rays, fluoride treatments, fillings, and extractions where needed. The benefit of ARDS-funded care is that essential dental treatment is covered for eligible children, supporting lifelong oral health from an early age.
Some complex treatments may require referral. After care focuses on building good brushing habits, healthy diet choices, and regular recall visits.
