"Has it been longer than 12 months since your teen had their last dental check-up? Book in a dental check-up today.”

Free dental care is available to teens from Year 9 to their 18th birthday from contracted dentists through the Adolescent Oral Health Service.

Regardless of whether a teenager is at school, in paid employment or not, they are still entitled to free dental services.
