Tariq Drabu Discusses the Decline in Dental Tourism
(PRWEB) April 13, 2014 -- Tariq Drabu is a renowned dentist and oral surgeon in Manchester. He is also the owner of the successful Langley Dental Practice, which he has owned since 1998. With over twenty five years experience, Dr Drabu is the Clinical Lead Dentist at the Oral Surgery Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service in NHS Heywood, Middleton. He is also a mentor, tutor and teacher of postgraduate dentists in oral surgery in London.
Tariq Drabu in Manchester was speaking about an article in the Dental Tribune website about dental tourism and how fewer patients are travelling for treatments. The full article can be read here.
From his Manchester practice, Tariq Drabu said “It is such good news for UK dentists and oral surgeons that patients are slowing down when it comes to travelling abroad for oral surgery. These are treatments which are available right here at practices throughout the country. UK dentists and oral surgeons have dedicated their lives to providing their patients with this level of care and now patients are starting to use these services and save themselves money in the long run. Rather than paying for a trip internationally and a treatment, they can now have the treatment right here on their doorstep.”
Tariq Drabu went on to say, “Our practice here at Langley Dental Practice has been providing both NHS and private treatments for years. We cover everything from teeth whitening to dental implants and under sedation treatments, exactly what patients would find if they were travelling abroad. The difference is that we offer value for money treatments and with the prices being competitive from dentists and surgeons throughout the country, patients are starting to take advantage of this, which is great news for us. When you have put so much time and effort into what you believe in, it’s such a relief to know that patients are starting to take advantage of what you provide, rather than heading off to another country to get the service they could get right here at home.”
Tariq Drabu closed by saying “I hope we start to see the number of patients travelling for dental tourism drop even further during the course of this year. The figures are already showing such a dramatic decrease over the past few years, we can only hope that they continue to support their own local dentists as we look towards the future.”
