Tariq Drabu Welcomes News of Good Deed Toothbrushes in 2015

Tariq Drabu said "Dental Wellness Trust has launched the Good Deed Toothbrushes which will aid in improving oral health for disadvantaged children at home and abroad."

Tariq Drabu is a leading dentist and specialist oral surgeon based in Manchester in the United Kingdom. He is also one of the youngest dentists to ever graduate in the United Kingdom before working in some of the busiest dental hospitals in the UK and Saudi Arabia. He always showed a passion in oral surgery which resulted in him completing his Fellowship in Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Today Dr Drabu 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 is also an active mentor and tutor to postgraduate dentists in oral surgery at the UCLAN Dental Clinic in Preston.

Tariq Drabu was speaking about an article published on 8 December 2015 on a leading dentistry website. The full article can be read on Dentistry.

Tariq Drabu said “The Dental Wellness Trust has launched the Good Deed Toothbrushes which will help in aiding those disadvantaged children with the ability to improve their oral health moving forward. This new initiative is aiming to give more than thirty thousand toothbrushes to children in need next year.”

Tariq Drabu in Manchester went on to say “Children's toothbrushes will be selling for only sixty Pence, while the adult brushes will be sold at one Pound Sterling. For each brush sold, one identical brush will been given to a person who does not have a toothbrush of their own on a global scale. This means that children in the United Kingdom and those abroad will get toothbrushes to help improve their oral health.”

Tariq Drabu closed in saying “More than seventy five percent of children worldwide don't have their own toothbrushes. We have paid very close attention to children oral health this year and I think this initiative is a great way to start tackling the poor oral health in children both at home and on a global scale. Currently the NHS is spending millions each year in the UK alone accommodating the number of children being hospitalized for tooth extractions, something that could have been prevented with proper brushing, diet and regular dental appointments.”
