From , 6:00 am on 29 July 2022

A paediatric dentist in Fiji is dedicating his career to improving dental health outcomes for children in the South Pacific region.

Decay is one of the most chronic childhood diseases in Fiji as well as New Zealand, and a leading cause for admissions to hospital for children.

Jason Nath is urging people to take better care of their teeth in order to protect kids from developing health issues like diabetes.

He spoke to Eleisha Foon about his dream to see future generations in the Pacific grow up without fillings.
