Are you in favour of universal dental care?

Yes but only for basic work and set to a threshold

Up to the age of 21 . Most detrimental health occurs at youth so if dental care is free for all children and youth this should prevent most problems. Other than that elderly care and free emergency dental care.

Yes, but it must be capped

Subsidised, not universal.

subsidised care

Yes, I think everyone should be entitled to subsidised dental care. Health care is important

Only for those under an income threshold

Equitable care would be priority

Yes, for children, senior citizens and those on lower incomes. Prices for general oral care should be reduced.

Make it free, therefore dictate more off other lifestyles

Yes but means test it and subsidize on a sliding scale for working or wealthy retired adults.

No, Subsided care will be better.

Yes to at least a basic level (i.e. checkups, basic procedures such as fillings)

Yes but with limits. No cosmetic work.

I think this would be nationally beneficial, but not include fluridation of water - which is toxic.

Yes, but only for those earning under median income

Remove fizzy drink for kids

Subsidised dental care for children and community service card holders

Yes, for children and seniors, but also on case-by-case basis. If someone requires life changing dental surgery, there should be a way to access this.

Yes, happy to see a small tax increase to support this.

only for normal not for cosmetic

Only if born here or pay taxes

No, but lower costs

Dental health care by new Zealand government and under surveillance part of Mandated by health care providers inc

Not at this time. The country cannot afford it just now.

Yes, but subsidised for those on a lower income, free for children, not free for all, so it does not cost as much

Yes but not for braces unless non cosmetic

Have a partial govt subsidy for basic dental for all, and free comprehensive dental care for children and seniors

People should be assisted in higher expense dental procedures

Yes but only for standard dental care - not cosmetic

Cheaper for all

Yes, for children up to 18 and people over 65

They should regulate the price of treatments as in other countries

children only

The rich should pay the current prices or more seen as they would need less treatment being able to access prevention in a way. The medium & low income prices should decrease severely and each dentist provide a certain amount of free care per year pro bono work for those that need it.

All healthcare including dental should be free

Yes, basic dental treatment to maintain healthy teeth and not cosmetic dental care up to the age of 18

No. But provide some funding . It is impossible to have free dental care for everyone

No, but free for children and students and regulate pricing for everyone else

Yes, regular dental expenses should be reimbursed for by the government.

Yes, with a subsidy only for health dental care, not cosmetic or other.

No, but it should be heavily funded

Offer private dental insurance

there should be a subsidy up to 20 years and $1000 cap on WINZ help

Yes but should be cheaper

yes but only for citizens

yes but only as part of state system - not private

Yes, with an annual limit

For children.
