Pop up clinic overwhelmed with demand in town lacking dentist
A pop up clinic offering free dental care in Wairoa has been overwhelmed with demand in an area that hasn't had a full time dentist for half a decade. The clinic is a joint project between Health New Zealand, iwi, Kahungunu and Hawkes Bay's Golden Apple dentists. Patients have been prioritised according to need and there has been lots of them keen to get in the chair, with the clinic's two week run almost over. Dr Isha Woodhams of Golden Apple Dental spoke to Lisa Owen.
