Dental Hygienist

Michelle from Linton

Hi everyone. Some time ago I did a post about the expense of seeing a dental hygienist. In one of the replies, someone mentioned that where they go, they were able to make an appointment with a hygienist without having to have a dental exam each year. I can't remember where they said they went, but I am hoping they will see this and tell me again. The dental practice I go to has now priced themselves so high I cannot afford to go there anymore! So looking for another place, but if I can find somewhere that allows you to see a hygienist without having to have yearly dental exams, that would be even better. According to my dental practice, they are not allowed to let you see a hygienist unless your dental exams are up to date every year. I just don't understand this, as I am the paying customer, shouldn't it be up to me? I am happy for them to advise, however the final decision should be mine. Anyway hoping to find a dental practice where I can get my teeth cleaned without it costing me an arm and a leg and the rest of my limbs! 😲

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
