Tariq Drabu Expresses Concern on Welsh Dental Attendance Figures
(PRWEB) June 18, 2014 -- Tariq Drabu is a dentist and specialist oral surgeon based in Manchester. He was one of the youngest dentists to ever graduate in the UK before spending years working in busy dental hospitals in the UK and Saudi Arabia. On his return to the UK, Dr. Drabu completed his Fellowship in Oral Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Dr. Drabu is the owner of the very successful Langley Dental Practice and is also the Clinical Lead Dentist for the Oral Surgery Clinical Assessment and Treatment Services (CATS) at NHS Heywood Middleton and Rochdale. Dr. Drabu also finds time in his busy schedule to mentor and tutor postgraduate dentists in oral surgery at UCLAN Dental Clinic in Preston.
Tariq Drabu said, “It is a concern to note that a recent study has revealed that fifty percent of adults in Wales have not been to their dentist for two years or more. It is recommended that patients visit their dentist approximately every six months for a check-up depending on clinical need, which enables us to determine if there are any problems and put a treatment plan together.”
Tariq Drabu in Manchester went on to say, “We recommend that most of our patients visit their dentist at least every six to twelve months for a check-up. This is an opportunity for us, as dental professionals, to identify any problems before they become serious. Cavities and gum disease are serious problems which can be caught early thanks to the regular check-up appointments, which can ensure improved oral health.”
Tariq Drabu closed in, saying, “Regular dental check-ups are imperative to dental and oral health. What many patients don’t realise is that these visits on a regular basis can help them reduce costs should a problem be found. It enables dental professionals to identify problems early on and rectify the problem, rather than leaving it to fester for months or years, sometimes resulting in expensive treatment because it’s been left too long. The biggest problem we face as dental professionals is patients that only visit their dentist when they are in pain, by this stage the problem has escalated.”
