    Good on her. At the end of the day, if i were in the same position I would do the same. She has a skill and uses it to help others.

    Dental costs are ridiculous. When did the mouth become separate from the body?? Without being able to chew your food properly thats a big negative for health and wellbeing. Kia Kaha wahine ♥ Ka pai to mahi ♥ Protect her ♥ I told WINZ if I don't have teeth I wont get a job! So they paid for my bottom dentures. Paid them back but still. I put the ball back in their court. Want me to get a job, make me look pretty, please!

    ❤❤❤❤BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤ I had to have my teeth out because of bone disease 3 yrs ago and I guess that's where it stops, I'm 56 and can't afford the phenomenal price for new ones, feel so embarrassed to ask for work with no top teeth, so Bless YOU Claire ❤❤❤❤

    Unbelievable. Some jealous dentist couldnt handle her skills being sought after. My own denture story was a nightmare, this counrty now has a govt that doesnt care about the poor, so, look after ur teeth kids

    Tena koe Claire for giving back to the elders and kaumatua in your rohe. Dentist would rather put a huge dent in the wallet. Hopefully you succeed Claire and teeth😁 the hauora o Aotearoa a good lesson.

    This is vindictive by the govt and govt entity because she's Māori, as a make-up artist I was taking moulds of people mouths to create theatrical teeth, which I learnt in 3 weeks from my study at cut above academy and perfected while working in the industry. I fail to understand why the health department thinks it is 4 year university process to learn to buy mouth mould and a bag of dental alginate for the impression, from the story, that what the problem was, her ability to take a dental impression. I believe dentist that complained did so out of spite for losing his/her overpriced income from dentures, common sense can prove that this dentist wants us to believe that some people that couldn't afford the original price went and had them made by Claire Wihongi-Matene only to the overprice dentist they couldn't afford to complain. Yeah Right ... or the dentist have someone attend only to establish a complaint.

    NZ is over priced by a 1000% even in Brazil dental treatment is more affordable than here.
    NZ medical system and treatment is 15 years behind and NZ is truly 3rd world.
    ophthalmologists are in the same boat! Remember Fred Hollows

      Is the water fluoridated ? If not would be a lot to do with it . Stay off the sugar .
