Tariq Drabu Concerned on the High Volume of Illegal Tooth Whitening in the UK in 2016

Tariq Drabu said "The BBC recently conducted an investigation which showed a high volume of illegal tooth whitening taking place across the United Kingdom in 2016."

Tariq Drabu is a Manchester born and educated dentist. He is also one of the youngest dentists to ever graduate in the United Kingdom at twenty one years of age. After graduation he worked in some of the busiest dental hospitals in the UK and Saudi Arabia before receiving his Fellowship in Dentistry at the College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Today he is the owner of the successful Langley Dental Practice and is also the Clinical Lead Dentist for the Oral Surgery Clinical Assessment and Treatment Services at NHS Heywood Middleton and Rochdale. He also finds time in his exceptionally busy schedule to tutor and mentor postgraduate dentists in oral surgery at the UCLAN Dental Clinic in Preston.

Tariq Drabu was speaking about an article published on 23 February 2016 on a top dental news website. 

Tariq Drabu in Manchester said “A recent BBC investigation revealed a high volume of illegal tooth whitening taking place in the West of England. The undercover reporter even identified a person using a false name and providing tooth whitening services after they were prosecuted by the General Dental Council two years ago for illegal tooth whitening. This is a serious concern as not everyone understands the dangers involved when it comes to using inferior whitening products.”

Tariq Drabu went on to say “There are online trainers who provide these illegal tooth whitening people with the assistance they need to operate illegally, they even recommend tooth whitening products, many of which can cause damage to teeth and gums. The problem is that this is not only happening in the West, it is happening across the United Kingdom right now as we speak.”

Tariq Drabu closed in saying “Tooth whitening is only safe when it is carried out by a trained dental professional. Poor quality whitening solutions will lead to lasting tooth and gum damage, which is why anyone who wants to lighten their teeth by a few shades needs to visit a reputable dental practice where they can get the top quality service that their teeth and gums deserve moving forward.”
