How to look after your children's teeth
The costs - and pain - associated with poor oral health care has become a huge burden on families and the health system, so how can parents get it right for their kids, and encourage good dental habits that last into their later years?
Basic dental care is free in New Zealand for children from birth until they turn 18.
But there are thousands of children currrently on waiting lists for dental treatment, we're talking serious surgeries which require them to go under general anaesthetic, with sugar consumption a significant contributor along with a lack of dental clinic visits.
Oral health promotions manager at the New Zealand Dental Association is Anishma Ram.
The NZDA has more information on dental care for children here.
