[AKL] $60 for Up to 5 Visits @ AUT Oral Health Manukau

Probably the cheapest way to get dental care around, as it's the AUT dental hygiene school students in their final year. Anyone can go, don't need to be associated with AUT. Bear in mind they don't do fillings or more serious treatments, if you need that and still want it cheap, go to the Otago Dental School, also in Auckland.

Basically you pay once in the calendar year and can go for up to 5 standard cleaning and assessment appointments for that one low price. Any extra treatment is priced as below

I know Cheapies will be keen to hear this too but they have also given me free toothpaste, floss and toothbrushes when I ask
