Has been since the Russians have decided to step in and say that they have had enough of the Saudi Arabia's control over crude oil.
So, have our delightful (yes, sarcasm) fuel companies dropped the price of fuel here?
Nope, not a chance in hell will they drop the price and I have a sneaking suspicion that Government will back them.
As the Government has lost a lot tax from cigarettes (as they want a healthy nation), they have to make up their huge lost tax revenue somewhere else.
We've tried boycotting - all of 1 day per large fuel firm and that made zero difference, so now they have us by the proverbials. What now?
Going the electric route, isn't any cheaper either and not even as eco/green as we are being force feed to believe i.e. the lithium ion batteries are the main reason for this. The cost of mining and destruction to get the lithium and at the other end, the safe disposal of said batteries.

Information on Root Canal

Tooth decay is damage that occurs when germs in your mouth make acids that eat away at a tooth. It can lead to a hole in the tooth, called a cavity. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss.

Bacteria and food can cause tooth decay. A clear, sticky substance called plaque is always forming on your teeth and gums. Plaque contains bacteria that feed on the sugars in the food you eat.As the bacteria feed, they make acids. The acids attack the teeth for 20 minutes or more after you eat. Over time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, causing tooth decay.

The space inside the tooth from the center, (known as the pulp chamber) that travels down the length of the root to the tip (or apex) is called a “canal,” or more specifically, a root canal.

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.

Common reasons for Root Canal therapy

Any trauma or infection of the nerve will result in the need for root canal therapy. Common reasons for root canal therapy include:

Bacteria from the decayed tooth invades the pulp by penetrating through the tooth.

Trauma, such as a chipped or broken tooth, occurs and results in the exposure of the nerve.

A tooth has become abscessed — also known as infected — from decay.

A tooth is slowly dying, due to aging or previous trauma that did not result in the need for treatment at the time of injury.

Advantages of root canal treatment

There are many types of advantages of using root canal treatment.

Normal chewing without pain
Control of sensation and biting in teeth
Appearance becomes normal and natural
Health of other teeth in mouth is not adversely affected

If a teeth is infected and root canal treatment is needed then it is important to take immediate steps to make sure that the infection could be eliminated on time. Delays in treatment for root canal cases could lead to spreading of infection to other teeth and the person has to suffer from a lot of pain and loss of many teeth.

Hence it is always important to see the Dentist every 6 months and as soon as you have having pain or discomfort with any of your teeth.

Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder. 

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills. 

Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz
