Mobile Dental Clinics For Schools
Our Lumino The Dentists mobile dental units visit a large number of secondary schools in the Auckland and Waikato area, meaning you don't have to take time off work or remove your child from important classes for them to be seen by a dental therapist.
We are excited to share that we are adding a mobile unit in the Wellington area in 2027!
The Lumino the Dentists, School Smiles Programme is fully funded by the Ministry of Health. It offers free dental examinations, oral health education, x-rays and a professional dental clean for students in year 9 to year 13, *up until their 18th birthday. Treatment including white fillings, sealants and extractions of baby teeth are also provided on the school grounds as required. For other treatment not completed on board the unit, you will be referred to your local practice or orthodontic specialist.
Your child's Lumino dental therapist will assess their individually changing dental needs and use the latest dental techniques to achieve optimal dental health. Our dental therapist will also educate your child on how to best keep their teeth and mouth healthy and disease-free.

Our Mobile Units are not available at all schools. We have four Mobile Units operating. Mobile 1, 2 & 3 Units are Auckland based. Mobile 1 covers Central, Central-West, and Central-east. Mobile 2 covers Northshore and Mobile 3 covers Central, West, Northshore and Rural areas. Mobile 4 is based in the Waikato region.
Free Teen Dentistry at Lumino is available to students entering Year 9, up until their 18th birthday. Once they hit 18 years old, dentistry is no longer free in New Zealand. Free Teen Dentistry is not available at all our practices. The practice must have an adolescent contract with the District Health Board to offer Free Teen Dentistry. Check with your preferred practice when booking an appointment to make sure they do offer Free Teen Dentistry.
Children will usually visit a Dental Therapist. In New Zealand a Dental Therapist works exclusively with under 18-year-olds. Dental Therapists either work for a DHB or in a private practice.
