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

  • one examination every year
  • treatments for preventing or repairing dental caries (holes)
  • advice on how to care for your own teeth

When an adolescent is approaching their 18th birthday, they are eligible for a second examination in a calendar year (as long as there are 9 months between appointments).

Enrolment process

Year 8 students and parents or caregivers will receive an enrolment form during their last year with the infant and children's oral health service. Older adolescents can enrol directly with their preferred dentist.
