NZ Single Parents Trust

Of course, Bianka,

You mean the Maori Trust Waiparera doctors. I shall phone them to get information correctly. Thanx for your reply.

Sorry guys for not checking this info yet. I phone tomorrow for details.

It’s a good dental information, good post.
THank you!
Go ahead, I will check your blog ofen. :LOL

Hi Roy, What you write sounds strange.

Have you phoned Albany and Henderson also?

Did they ask if you had a community service card maybe?

Hey
I have also rung this place and was quoted $100 or more for fillings. The xrays $25 and Extractions are $40 but even with a community services card it’s over $100 for the fillings. I’m going tomorrow to get a quote so will find out more.

I think I need to re visit these places.

The Greenlane hospital information is correct. They don’t ask for community service card either.

As for the others, I thought they were all under the same program. I guess this is only where the funding has come through. Use your imagination if you must to get into the right places until the other places follow suit. But I will ask around to see what is better on offer.

I allso chech around as i live in Papakura .Cost start off at around $140.00 plus an it could end up costing more .Friends most jump on planes an head over to Fiji to get theres done if more then three .you have a Great trip go private there around NZ$25.00 .. of go to the witch doctor NZ$5.00
I live there for two years some time ago an use to go private .An mostly it wher Japanese doctor pay bye the japanese goverment do treatment is a lot better then here

Prices will keep going up here .It just getting worse you think if thay lower there price down thay get heaps of work .But no .

Thay are like a Park of Laywer out to get as much as thay can .

Is New Zealand a 3th world country when it comes to Dental care now
Of worse
Myself heading over to AUS NSW to get my ones done there it just fix at AUS$63.00 Pull AUS$30.00 So far cheap i going to get them all check out an spend a few days shopping as well

does anyone know about the dental services at middlemore? Can someone from south auckland go to greenlane?

just an update on your info re Greenlane,Today – Arrived just after 6am and waited patiently until the doors opened at 7am, then waited again until 7:15am for dental to open.
ON entering was asked if i had my “board” ???? i asked
APPARENTLY you have to be there at 5AM !!!! grab one of the 15 available boards (left somewhere outside, this wasnt clarified) and then wait for the next 2.5 hours until they open!!
Part that confused me most was of the 20 people in the dental reception there were only 3 people with boards ??? where were the other 12 I wonder ???
Also if you are in extreme pain I was told to just go to the doctor!

Thanks Yolanda for updates. it seems Greenlane is getting very busy to change things the way they have.

Hi Hemant, the only thing I can think of is phoning around the dental schools. They have to experiment on patients and often if you are the guinea pig for training you get things free or cheap.

This is the way the Australian Dental Hospitals are able to offer free and cheap dental care. There must be something going on in NZ.

Good luck! And let us know how you got on.

Hi Natasha, maybe you could phone the hospital in your area and see what they have available.

I wish I could know the information in other areas to help all NZer’s out.

Hi Adrian, this is Greenlane’s phone number 367 0000

Hi guys

The peoples Health Clinic on Mt Albert Street in the city does cheap dental care of you have a community card. $40 for extraction or filling no matter the size or difficulty. X-rays are $25 each. Consultation is $40. Without a CC fillings and extactions are $75 to $140 depending on size of job and difficulty. Consultation is $75, and X-rays are also $75. Hope this helps. The listing is in the phone book.

Smile dental in west aucks do the same deal as the mt albert one above.
Fillings are abit more expensive quoted AT THE TIME, also for WINZ if req as entitled to $400 subsidy for dental a year.
530am for the oral health clinic is incorrect as the doors do not open til 715 at the hospital. It is first in first served for 20 ppl per day. The do not do root canal or crowns. They do wisdom teeth under GA , fillings and extractions only.
pls see the link

@sharalee
Hi…… can you give the contact number for this please re peoples health clinic- googled with no luck.
thanks

wondering more about this ‘Dental School’ bussiness. Want to know if there is a way to get cheaper braces, as the prices these days really are through the roof !
Do you know if there’s any chance they are subsidised by the government on certain cases ?

Hi! How much would it cost for a root canal? Can I make an appointment for a root canal or do I have to go for a checkup before getting the treatment done at Greenlane hospital?

Thanks

I went to the greenlane hospital this morning at 6.45am and missed out on a clip board apparently some of the people were there since 5am and they dont leave the boards in a trolley they get handed out by a security guard at 6.45am and he only hands out so many (meaning it may not be 20) like today he only gave out 7 because there was only 1 dentist on at the time and they would only take a certain amount of people so if you dont get a clip board outside the main doors its not worth hanging around waiting because the receptionist will tell you to try again tomorrow unless your face is swollen or its for a child. my advise is ring the clinic the day before and ask how many dentist are going to be on the next day because you dont want to be waiting for hours only to find out they are only taking the first few.

@Elle
I think this is a wonderful thing to write about. Maybe you could also contact ….

for the public to use.. the relief of pain service $40 for a extraction is only if u have a CSC card tho.

anyone can use the hospital if ur there early .. first in first served.. kids really sick or elderly are first .. middlemore is quieter btw not as busy as greenlane

Hi, Please ever don’t go to Dr. Peter Ng, Sandrigham Dental centre. I have had horrible experience with him. I just went for examination of my teeth as my gums were sore and he suggested me to extract my wisdom tooth and he just left in the half way removing only some portion of it and informed that he cannot reach and I could feel the pain even though he had injected me. Next day, my gums were swelling and had severe pain.

Hi all;

I’m not working and I have had a horrible time with winz for the last 6 months. I need to get fillings but I can’t afford standard rates. Can anyone recommend a cheap (but reliable!) place in Auckland.

Thanks. I did some investigation of the links already published here. Lis Good mentioned the peoples centre trust. In it’s pricing they appear to mentioned found that fillings under ‘relief of pain treatments’. I’ll call them next week to verify if this is correct.

@Lis Good
Thanks Lis Good. We’ll look forward to what you have to say.
