Millennials and Gen Z’s struggling to smile
Research shows 44 per cent of Kiwis feel uncomfortable showing off their smile because of their teeth.
Lumino the Dentists found Millennials and Gen Z were worse than other groups, and are advising caution over aesthetic dental treatments advertised to them on social media.
“Kiwis need to ensure they're correcting any existing issues before embarking on any cosmetic treatments - especially ones being advertised to them on Instagram or Tik Tok, as some of these treatments may not be right for them,” a spokesman said.
“Did you know that you should actually have a full hygiene clean before undergoing any whitening treatments? You may also be causing more harm than good using whitening products without a dentist consultation.”
The research found women were more likely to feel uncomfortable smiling than men.

Chicken Gizzards!
Kia ora Neighbours
I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).
I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.
If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.
Thank you!
