Dental cleaning - you don't have to go via a dentist, Dental Council says
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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

77.2% Yes

21.2% No
