The Health Ministry is now reviewing the country's water standards and its fluoride levels due to the continuing serious dental problems in the country.
The last survey which was carried out showed that 88 percent of the children in Fiji had rotten teeth before they even got to school.
Health Minister, Doctor Neil Sharma said the water system needs to have sufficient fluoride to fight these dental issues and other medical problems.
Cabinet has also approved the setting up of standards in relation to the toothpaste sold by the retailers.
Meanwhile the Water Authority of Fiji said it will only comment on the fluoride levels of our water supply after we email them formal questions.
Stay with us for their response.
