The New Zealand Medical Association is the latest to join the chorus of voices pleading for more affordable dental care.
The association represents doctors including GPs and specialists.
On Monday the Herald revealed Waitematā DHB wants a "comprehensive dental service for all New Zealanders", after concern about desperate Kiwis queuing at hospital pain clinics, showing up at ED, or even performing gruesome "DIY dentistry".
Medical Association chairwoman Dr Kate Baddock says dental decay is "the most prevalent chronic, yet irreversible, disease in New Zealand".
And New Zealand's demand for hard drugs has been laid bare in a new report from the United Nations.
