Half of NZ can't afford to see a dentist. Max Harris and Dental for All want to change that.
The Frontline with Dr Gary PayindaShow Notes
A conversation with Max Harris, lawyer, campaigner, and author, talking about Dental for All, a group that's got a national roadshow under way talking about the crazy idea that dental care should be a public service available to every New Zealander. Even the ones who are not 'wealthy and sorted'. If you want to imagine where the current government's push to healthcare privatisation will lead us, look no further than adult dental care in NZ: with almost half of people locked out due to cost. Together, let's say No, fight back, and build a better nation. Please share this video with a friend. For more, also check out my Substack @drgarypayinda.
