Dental Education

Dental education is the promotion of dental hygiene and care to tamariki (pre-schoolers) in Kura Kaupapa and Early Childhood Centres in Heretaunga.

What can this programme do for your Tamariki?

Provide dental education to improve the oral health of tamariki throughout Heretaunga

Encourage tamariki to enjoy brushing their own teeth each day and to encourage a regular tooth brushing habit

Register your tamariki with a Dental Therapist from Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga for regular check ups

Our team is passionate about helping our tamariki to take care of their Nīho and clients have said the following;

"Changes to our school canteen have been made to provide tamariki with health choices in caring for their Nīho" (Oranga Niho Client).

"Tamariki love singing the Oranga Nīho waiata and teaching it to their whanau" (Oranga Niho Client).

"Trish has visited our Kohanga Reo several times over the last two years. Her approach to teaching our tamariki dental hygiene is one that our tamariki are comfortable with and ultimately happy to participate in" (Dental Education Client).
