There are an estimated 2500 refugees in Nelson - mostly from Nepal, Myanmar and Colombia.
Local dentist Dr Jacob Linn realised that many of the refugees he was treating at the local hospital dental department had little understanding of what was going on, due to language and cultural barriers.
So he set about fixing it. He speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
