Kia ora

Our Mobile Dental Unit will be visiting Mangatangi School in October. Children have regular dental checks to ensure their teeth and gums are healthy. It is free for 0 to 17 year olds.

We will begin inviting students from Mangatangi School for dental appointments from 7th October. If we have consent on file to see your child we will invite them over from class. You will receive a text message with the time of your child’s appointment. Parents and guardians are very important. You are most welcome to attend with your child. This way we can let you know what’s happening with your child’s teeth and mouth, tell you about the latest tips for a healthy smile and plan any additional care that may be required. To change the appointment time, please phone us direct on 021 356 294, call 0800 TALK TEETH, or simply pop in to see us when you’re passing.

Feel free to make contact to book in your pre-schoolers as well.

Check-up appointments take about 20 minutes.

If you do not attend the appointment, please be sure to check your child’s bag regularly for any dental notices.

If we do not have consent on file we will send a dental consent form home for you to fill in and return to school.

Children without consent will NOT be seen.

We look forward to seeing your children.
