Labour's Health spokesperson is labelling the party's latest dental policy "ambitious".
The party's promising to offer free basic dental care for under 30-year-olds by 2030 if it holds onto power.
The policy would cost $390 million and start in 2025.
Ayesha Verrall told Mike Hosking it would be a big step.
“It is a fundamental change in what we see the responsibility of the public health system to be by moving from 18 to 30 as your eligibility for free dental care.”
