Brooke Stanley Pao: Auckland Action Against Poverty Coordinator on dental statistics in NZ

There are demands for dental care to be included in New Zealand's public health system. An Association of Salaried Medical Specialists-commissioned poll shows seven in 10 Kiwis agree it should be free, as it is for children. Seventy-two percent of respondents say they've delayed a dentist visit due to cost, and only 43 percent had visited a dentist in the last year. Auckland Action Against Poverty coordinator Brooke Stanley Pao says in the communities they work with, that stat would be higher. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
