Do you brush your teeth regularly?
One in three Wellingtonians are only brushing their teeth once a day, according to new research.
The research by Lumino found that two thirds of Kiwis only go to the dentist if they have a problem, or avoid it altogether.
In addition, only one third (38%) of Wellington residents are visiting the dentist regularly. Otago are the country's best tooth brushers, with three quarters (73%) brushing the recommended two times a day. By contrast, one third of Kiwis (34%) brush just once a day at most.
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.
