Dr. Drabu received his Fellowship in Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

Tariq Drabu in Manchester said, “A team at the Rio de Janeiro Federal University carried out research to determine the impact of strong black coffee and teeth, with amazing results. The research revealed that strong black coffee could break down bacteria biofilms, including dental plaque. The research was carried out using donated deciduous teeth from children.”
Tariq Drabu went on to say, “The team found that exposing the teeth to coffea canephora, which is grown in Brazil and Vietnam, caused the bacteria to burst. This is such an exciting outcome that can be used in future development of toothpastes and mouthwashes.”
Tariq Drabu closed in saying, “The research conducted was only carried out using strong black coffee and did not include coffee with milk and sugar. We can’t forget that coffee consumption also has negative effects including tooth enamel acidity and teeth staining, which needs to be taken into consideration. This research was published in the Letters in Applied Microbiology and with further research and testing they may be able to remove the useful chemicals to use in tooth aids in the future.”
