solve adentalissue of<br />
Community Service Card<br />
holders free of charge.<br />
Dentistry on Parkside<br />
practice coordinator Bernie<br />
Jopson said usually Community<br />
Services Card holders were<br />
only eligiblefor emergency<br />
treatment. ‘‘So the freedental<br />
days give the opportunity to get<br />
afilling done or checkup that is<br />
not covered underthe<br />
emergency treatment,’’ she<br />
said.<br />
Arun Velusamu, Michael<br />
Holdaway and AmandaSia are<br />
volunteeringthis year at the<br />
clinicdays on August14and 21.<br />
People wishing to book an<br />
appointment are asked to call<br />

current Community Services<br />
Card on hand when they ring.<br />
It was something Dentistry on<br />
Parkside like to support and<br />
give their time to, ‘‘but we<br />
would also like to encourage<br />
school children to have<br />
checkups,’’ she said.<br />
Year 9toage 18 dental care is<br />
covered undergovernment<br />
funding.<br />
‘‘So we really encourage<br />
parents to enrol their<br />
children,’’ she said. For adults,<br />
an annual checkup was<br />
recommended to prevent any<br />
surprises ‘‘prevention is better<br />
thancure.’’<br />

Insurancecustomers through the<br />
Canterbury region lodged 3538 claims<br />
costingover $43.8 million for insured losses<br />

ICNZ chief executive TimGraftonsaid the<br />
figures reflected the vastdamage floods<br />
leave behind, andhow importantitistohave<br />
insurancetohelpyou get back on your feet<br />
when the unexpected happens.<br />
Mr Grafton said the recent floods were the<br />
start of what is provingtobeastormy winter<br />
for the country.<br />
While insurance played avital roleto<br />
support communities managerisks, both<br />
centraland local government played akey<br />
roleto supportour adaptation to achanging<br />
climateand building more resilient<br />
communities.<br />
That could mean improving infrastructure<br />
such as stormwater systems, not consenting<br />
new properties in higher risk areas, as well<br />
as buildingmore resilientresidential and<br />
commercial buildings,MrGraftonsaid.<br />
