Taking Action
Turning the Roadmap into reality
The Roadmap is a clear, evidence-based ‘blueprint’ of practical solutions designed to fix the poor state of oral health affecting so many New Zealanders. This section showcases how NZDA members, local practices, and communities are already driving change through innovation, collaboration, and advocacy.
Here you’ll find stories from dentists leading Roadmap-inspired initiatives, updates on events and media coverage, and advocacy tools you can use to make a difference, whether by contacting your local MP, engaging with the media, or promoting oral health in your community.
Every action helps turn the Roadmap’s vision into reality, making better oral health more achievable for more New Zealanders.
Our work
-
Case Studies
Real stories from real dentists and their patients. These case studies bring the stats to life – they show what oral health actually looks like on the ground in New Zealand — from everyday challenges in the clinic to examples of what’s possible given the right Government policy and funding.
-
Media Engagement
Our members and spokespeople regularly front media discussions about oral health, the good bits and the not so good. Explore the latest interviews, commentary, and news coverage shining a spotlight on the issues that matter most to dentists — and to the communities they serve.
-
Media Releases
Here’s where we share what NZDA’s been saying and doing in the media. Our news releases highlight the stories, challenges, and wins that matter to dentists and the communities they care for. It’s about keeping oral health on the national agenda — and making sure the voices of those on the ground are heard loud and clear.
