Niho Ora

In collaboration with Hauraki PHO, DV Bryant Trust, Waikato Tainui, Waikato Dental, and the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), we are happy to announce our free mobile dental initiative, Niho Ora.

The significant demand among our Te Tai Hau-a-Uru communities for a free mobile dental service that can be delivered closer to home led to the launch of the Niho Ora ki Tai initiative. Niho Ora Ki Tai will be providing this initiative in Te Tai Hau-a-Uru throughout 2024 to areas with the highest unmet need.

Dental treatment includes x-rays, general check-ups, hygiene cleaning, fillings, dentures and extractions. 

To be eligible for this initiative, you need to be:

• Committed to attending both the initial dental screening and treatment appointments

• Aged 18 years and over

• Eligible for a Community Services Card

• Living in the Te Tai hau a uru region

If you meet the eligibility criteria or require additional assistance from our team feel free to contact us via, email: admin@whaingaroa.co.nz and phone: 0800 838 646

Please note that completing the expression of interest form does not guarantee an appointment. Our team will do our best to reach as many whānau as possible.
