Dental health is important during breast cancer treatment but it can be very difficult for adults to access information about free dental services. Availability differs from region-to-region, so it's important to search locally to see what's available. It's also important to discuss your dental health needs with your cancer treatment centre as they may need to provide a referral for you.
Here's some information about accessing services:

• A limited range of dental services are funded for some adults who're referred by their dental practitioner or GP. This is treatment related so it may only be relevant for those receiving bisphosphonate treatments. 
• People on low incomes who have a community services card may be eligible for some funding for dental treatment, such as pain relief or extractions.
• Regional DHB-funded services are available for emergency dental work. Talk to your cancer treatment centre about your eligibility. 
• Occasionally, organisations like New Zealand Dental Association or large practices like Lumino, have free dental days. 

Counsellors are available 24/7 through the phoneline. There is access to information, resources and tools to help recognise and manage depression on our website. We also have information on supporting others.
