Oral health services at Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora - Southern focus on getting your children’s oral health off to a good start, addressing the needs of those at greatest risk of poor oral health, and creating the conditions for good oral health.
We also ensure strong links between oral health services and other health care so that oral health is promoted, improved, maintained and, where necessary, restored at the earliest opportunity.
This is in line with the Ministry of Health vision for an environment that promotes oral health, whether through fluoridated water, a healthy diet, or publicly funded services where they are most needed.
