Canterbury children record high levels of tooth decay

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Nearly 20 per cent of Canterbury’s 5-year-olds have tooth decay, prompting dental experts to call for a radical rethink of the way New Zealand provides oral health care.

Nearly 20 per cent of Canterbury’s 5-year-olds have tooth decay, prompting dental experts to call for a radical rethink of the way New Zealand provides oral health care.

The children with cavities had an average of six teeth that were either decayed, already pulled out or repaired with a filling – that’s 30 per cent of their 20 baby teeth.

The appalling figures have led to renewed pleas to fluoridate Christchurch’s water and for “grazing” eating habits to change.

Humanely dealing with pests this winter.

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:

The lockdown gave Canterbury sports vet Sara Bagheri a chance to hone her long-held vision of providing community veterinary services to those who cannot afford to treat their pets.

"As vets we don't get any subsidies from the Government to reduce the costs of animal care and it's been a long-held dream of mine to create a service which provides vet care to those who might otherwise struggle to afford it," she said.

"Pets are so important for wellbeing and especially in uncertain times when we can turn to our pets for a source of comfort and routine."

Bagheri is currently developing a plan for the community vet service and is keen to hear from others who would like to be involved in the project.

A North Canterbury council has come unstuck in its efforts to get a “building” of shipping containers moved from a local property.

The Hurunui District Council’ claimed a storage building had been constructed on a rural Amberley site without consent by the tenant, Ian Ffitch​, and told him to remove the containers from the property.

Determinations manager Katie Gordon said the council was correct in saying the roof should have had a building consent, but that could be rectified by removing the roof, which Ffitch has since done.
