The New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA) continues to be concerned about the dental health of Pasifika people in New Zealand.
The recently released report
Bula Sautu: A window on quality 2021: Pacific health in the year of Covid-19 highlighted wider concerns over Pasifika general health.
NZDA member, and Pasifika public health dentist, Dr Tule Fanakava Misa says with figures showing only 36 percent of five-year-old Pacific children being free of caries (tooth decay) compared with 69 percent of non-Māori, non-Pacific children are really alarming and heart breaking.
