Kids getting their school dental checks?

Karoline Tuckey Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Are your kids getting their annual school dental checks?
We're catching up with the DHB about the backlog for school dental checks, and the number of kids with tooth decay so bad they have to go under general anesthesia to get teeth pulled. We're keen to hear from parents whose kids haven't had their yearly check-up. Email karoline.tuckey@stuff.co.nz or call 06 355 8778. Thanks!
