An Onchan MHK's comments about the introduction of charges for dental check-ups are being questioned.
Peter Karran has branded the introduction of the charge 'an act of vandalism on public health'.
He claims it will discourage some people from going for a check-up, which could lead to more extensive - and therefore expensive - work in the future, if something is not caught early.
Isle of Man Dental Association Secretary Nigel Armstrong thinks the impact will be minimal:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Changes to come into force in April 2026
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Government's asking for feedback on proposed changes to election process
Customs and Excise office to relocate
Public counter will open in Central Government Offices on 15 December
Douglas man convicted in Island's 'most complex child abuse image investigation'
