The Health Bureau announced today that in collaboration with the dental sector, free denture replacement services will be launched starting tomorrow to address the need for replacement of lost dentures due to the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po and to provide dental treatment for affected residents.

The bureau had received requests for assistance from affected residents regarding the replacement of lost dentures due to the fire.

To assist more affected residents in need, the bureau co-ordinated with various dental care organisations, the Hong Kong Dental Association and dentists to launch denture replacement services tomorrow.

Currently, more than 80 private dentists are participating, covering 106 service points. Starting from tomorrow until February 28, 2026, all residents of the eight blocks at Wang Fuk Court, including foreign domestic helpers, can receive at least one free dental consultation and one follow-up appointment through the arrangement of the District Health Centres/District Health Centre Expresses (DHC) under the Primary Healthcare Commission across all 18 districts in Hong Kong.

The scope of the free dental consultation services covers broken appliances and lost dental appliances due to the incident, including repair or replacement of partial or complete dentures, and removable orthodontic retainers; and oral treatment due to injuries inflicted in the incident, including medication for dental pain relief, simple fillings, emergency pulp treatment and extractions.

Residents in need can call the hotlines or visit any DHC in person for assistance, regardless of their current place of residence. Those who are registered as DHC members may also contact the relevant centre directly.

The hotlines are listed on the Primary Healthcare Commission and the DHC websites. DHC case managers will pair patients with appropriate dentists.

Private dentists interested in providing denture replacement services to the affected residents may contact the bureau by email.
