Tahir Oral Care

Thank you James Moorhouse and for sharing my story. 💙

Nearly three years ago, I was fighting for my life after ignoring symptoms for far too long. Thanks to the incredible NHS team and especially my surgeon Tahir who saved my life, I was given a second chance.

If sharing my experience encourages just one person living with ongoing stomach pain, unexplained weight loss, blood in their stool or other symptoms to book an appointment with their GP, then it’s worth it.

Crohn’s disease is a cruel invisible disease, but early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference.

I’ll always be grateful for my second chance in life. It gave me the opportunity to raise my two beautiful children and build Tahir Oral Care, named in honour of the surgeon who saved my life.

Please don’t ignore the signs. Your health is worth it.

IT’S A BABY BOY💙👶🏼 Mummy and baby are all healthy, how incredible is that feeling, we loved having the gender surprise at the birth! How mothers go through all that pain is mind blowing🤯👏

His 17 month old big sister is super happy to have her new best friend😊 Having our son born in the same hospital where I had my life-saving operation is the cherry on top.

Thank you to all the amazing midwife’s and NHS staff who helped make our dreams come true💙

I hope you all are having a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend in the Sunshine☀️

I would like to thank Kate Quinlan from for such a beautifully well-written article 💙 Free PR is almost impossible in 2026, so thank you Kate!

Everyday is such a blessing, I’m truly just happy to still be here🙏

DAY 2 💙 at the BDA Dentistry Show.

What a day. Emotional, inspiring and one I’ll never forget.

I stepped on stage for my very first talk and honestly felt blown away by the support in the room. Thank you to everyone who came along 💙

A special thank you to my mum who surprised me by turning up, that meant the world.

Huge thank you to .dental Professor Dr Ali Golkari and Clinical Research Assistant Amir Al Samak for presenting our 1,000 patient Electric Flosser Trial. This is such an important step forward for Tahir and the future of interdental care.

Thank you to every single customer supporting us and helping us donate £1,000 to 💙

And thank you to for capturing the day so perfectly. Incredible team.

Met some amazing people throughout the day and feeling very grateful tonight. Feeling super blessed 💙

Day 1 BDA Dentistry Show💙 Met incredible people, made great memories! Thanks 💙

Sofia, Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Invited to meet with leading dentists and practices to tackle one simple mission… how we get more people flossing.

Along the way, I met some incredible people and experienced something very special watching Levski Sofia win their first league title in 17 years.

Then, by pure coincidence back in London, I found myself sitting down with a top Serbian dentist and his brilliant sons.🇷🇸

What an incredible start to May, feeling blessed💙

What a day. London → Leeds → London.

Huge thank you to 💙 for inviting us to sponsor and attend your incredible trade fair at . It was nice to be back up north. I had some brilliant conversations and it’s clear the future of dentistry is in very safe hands at Leeds.

Congratulations to the winners of the Tahir 3-Dart Challenge. One was called Taahir, the other has Crohn’s disease like me… genuinely felt like a 1 in a million moment. Yes, I’ve put the lottery numbers on for this weekend 🤣

Then straight back to London for a great evening with at , catching up with inspiring people and my mentor Peter Roberts, founder of PureGym.

Days like this remind me why we’re building Tahir 💙

I’ll be honest, I’m very nervous. Standing in front of hundreds of dental professionals for 45 minutes feels like a big moment. But it also feels like the right one. There will be people in the audience who have been practising dentistry longer than I’ve been alive.

If you’re a dentistry professional coming to the BDA Dentistry Show at the NEC, I would genuinely love for you to come and watch my first ever public talk.

I’ll be sharing the Tahir story and why this all started. As the founder of a flossing device which has one of the highest percentages of non-flossers starting their flossing journey, I’ll share our early insights. We’ll also walk through findings from our 1000 patient Electric Flosser Randomised Controlled Trial with Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, with huge thanks to Dr Ali Golkari and Amir Al Samak for their support.

We’ll also be presenting our donation to . Each month we give 10% of our profits to a charity, and if you are a charity please get in touch for more details. This is a small step towards supporting the incredible work led by Andy Evans and the team, and where that funding will go.

Most importantly, we’re going to take an honest look at the problem. Why 71% of patients still don’t floss daily, and how we actually fix that from the perspective of someone outside the dental professional bubble.

No perfect answers. Just a founder trying to make sense of it and hopefully move things forward.
