Dental cleaning - you don't have to go via a dentist, Dental Council says

Bruce from Takaro

See reply to my email inquiry, from the official authority.
It's lawful to go directly to a dental hygienist.
- I just rang two places and they do it.
Manawatu Dental Group 358 3988 at $150 to $229 if there's serious gum work to deal with in the treatment
Smile Dental, Victoria Street 0800n 476 453 $150 upwards,
NOTE their website says they give a FREE dentist check with that.
- But after hearing about that guy giving dental checks and cleans for $50 until he retired, I'm thinking that's what the price should be for a clean. About $50 to $100 done direct to a hygienist or willing dentist.
- Let's keep looking for the best deal and tell everyone.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
