Caring 4 Smiles offers Good Oral Hygiene as the Key to Good Health.

Loyola from Caring 4 Smiles Dental Group

There is extensive and excellent research proving the fact that excellent Oral Hygiene is foundation to great health. Kids get early into "potty training" so they must also be "trained in plaque control". Many adults believe that baby teeth are disposable so why worry or invest in them. Baby molars drop by age 11, so they have every chance to rot and get abscessed, if they are not cared for from the earliest stages of childhood.
-
Dental abscesses send virulent bacteria coursing into the blood stream and these can cause rheumatic heart disease, heart valve damage, joint trouble and a lifetime of health issues. Simple and timely preventive oral hygiene eliminates all this misery.
-
At Caring 4 Smiles, our team of 3 Oral Therapists & Hygienists focus on children and adults to instill in them, good brushing and cleaning techniques. Alex, Zahraa & Teresa along with mum & dad, encourage the child, showing we are all on the same team and our joy is the beautiful smiles of growing children.
-
We are not contracted to the Health Department for "Free Child & adolescent Dentistry", but as every Kiwi knows, "You get what you pay for". Great preventive care that is individualized and tailored for YOUR darling child is cheaper in the long run of Life.
-
We started our Preventive Care program 25 years ago and have generations of children to prove that our program is the best in saving you all the heartache of toothache.

Chicken Gizzards!

Sunita from Royal Oak

Kia ora Neighbours

I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).

I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.

If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.

Thank you!

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats

Connie from Remuera

Hello everyone,

I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.

Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).

Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.

Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.

For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.

Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
