Heath Minister Simeon Brown has today launched a new mobile dental clinic in South Auckland, increasing access to dental care for the local community.
“Ensuring all children have access to timely, quality healthcare is a priority for the Government.
“Expanding dental services and offering early access to oral healthcare, close to home, is key to improving overall oral health.
“About 50 per cent of children waiting for dental care in the Auckland region live in the Counties Manukau area.
“This purpose-built, mobile clinic will provide dental assessments, treatment, and oral health education for up to 3,000 children each year.
