Ep.27, Beyond dental care, with Dr. David Roze
This week, we’re talking to Dr. David Roze, from Dr. Roze & Associates Dental Clinic,
Fair Care promotes the resilience, health and wellbeing of the most vulnerable individuals and communities in the UAE in a way that reduces negative impacts on human and planetary health.
Launched in 2017 under the Year of Giving, Fair Care offers hygiene kits and health services like dental work beyond legal insurance coverage. Our approach is to enhance, community, human health and wellbeing whilst promoting low environmental impact.
Feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege for anyone in our society. We want to support vulnerable communities and give them access to the basics they need.
…human health and wellbeing: We facilitate equitable access to physical and mental health opportunities, resources, products and services.
…low environmental impact: We focus on items that have a long lifespan, are free of chemicals and plastics, low waste, and come from recycled or upcycled sources supporting circular economy and planetary health.
…social justice: We follow an inclusive, age and gender-sensitive, and financially accessible mandate prioritizing low-cost treatments and cost-effective reusable items.
…community: We enable businesses and individuals to show solidarity and compassion through CSR, volunteering, pro-bono, or in-kind support.

2.3 BILLION PEOPLE around the world lack basic hygiene services, including soap and water at home. (CDC, 2022)

Appropriate hand hygiene prevents up to 50% of avoidable infections. (WHO, 2022)

Globally, around 500 million women lack access to menstrual products, leading them to resort to unsanitary alternatives that increase their chances of infection. (The World Bank, 2022)

40% of oral health expenditure in the UAE are due to completely avoidable gum disease and tooth decay. In 2016, one in five people in the Emirates suffered from gum disease, while tooth decay was a problem for 36% of residents. Fixing a single tooth with implants or replacements can cost up to AED 5,000. (Health Authority Abu Dhabi, 2016)
