Dental Clinic

Kia ora, Talofa lava, Mālō e leilei, Kia orāna, Bula, Fakaalofa lahi atu – warm greetings to our
community.

The Auckland Regional Dental Service would like to thank our communities for their support and
understanding whilst we continue to work through a catch-up recovery programme following significant
service disruption during the COVID-19 period.

Murrays Bay Primary

Our aim as part of this recovery programme is to deliver equitable service access for our
tamariki/children. To do this, we will be increasing the frequency of our mobile dental facilities into and
out of schools and focusing on examining and treating tamariki that we have identified as having higher
dental needs and are most overdue. This means that tamariki will be seen as most overdue first or those
who have significant dental issues that need urgent attention. We aim to see all patients for their dental
check up and any required dental treatment.

The Ula Transportable Dental Unit is open 8:00am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday.

After-Hours Emergency Dental Access:

For urgent dental treatment needs outside of our normal operating hours, please contact your nearest
dentist and ask if they are contracted to offer free emergency after-hours care for children.
Alternatively, medical care in relation to an urgent dental condition can be accessed through your
GP/family doctor or an emergency medical practice. Free 24-hour advice on what to do in a dental
emergency is also accessible through Healthline on 0800 611 116.

Free Dental Services for Children Living in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland):

The Auckland Regional Dental Service (ARDS) is funded to provide free dental care to children from birth
through to the end of school year 8. Following this, tamariki from school year 9 are transferred to the
Adolescent services to continue free dental care up until their 18th birthday.
