Toothmine Dental Clinic has officially launched a state-of-the-art Clinic in the Lekki area of Lagos state, with a pledge to transform oral healthcare delivery and expand access to dental education across Africa.

Speaking at the official unveiling held recently, the Managing Director of Toothmine Dental Clinic, Dr Abraham Akinbami, popularly known as The African Dentist, recounted his inspiring journey into dentistry and his mission to bridge the gap in oral health awareness through innovation, digital technology, and patient-centred care.

He revealed that his passion for dentistry began in childhood after a personal encounter with dental care. “I had braces done as a child, and that sparked my interest in dentistry,” he said. “Although I initially wanted to study medicine, fate redirected me, and I discovered dentistry was truly fascinating.”

According to him, after graduating, he recognised a major gap in public knowledge about oral health, which motivated him to start The African Dentist brand — a social education initiative that uses digital platforms to promote oral hygiene and awareness.
