As a parent, keeping up with your teenager's dental health can feel like one more expense to juggle. The good news? In New Zealand, dental care for teenagers aged 13 to 17 is completely free — and G & E Dental is here to make the most of that for your family.

What's covered?

Under the New Zealand Government's Community Oral Health Service, eligible teens can receive:

Routine check-ups and cleans
X-rays
Fillings
Extractions
Referrals for more complex treatment where needed

Why bring your teen to G & E Dental?

Teenagers often avoid the dentist — whether it's nerves, busy schedules, or just not making it a priority. Our friendly team is experienced with teenage patients and creates a relaxed, judgment-free environment so they actually want to come back.

We offer flexible appointments including evenings and weekends, making it easy to fit around school and activities.

Don't let the free entitlement go to waste

Many families don't realise this benefit exists, or put off booking until it's too late. Once your child turns 18, the subsidy ends — so it's worth getting into a regular routine now.
