Dr Amanaki Fakakovikatau, Chief of Dentistry, Dentist and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon talks about Tongan dentistry.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr Amanaki in person during a visit in October 2019.
He shares about his story in Tonga, the oral health challenges, the culture, and opportunities to make a difference. There has been great progress, but there is a need for more Dentists and Dental Therapists in this beautiful island.
