Dr H Aggarwal, Joint Principal of FRAYS Dental Surgery for an impressive 25 years, is also a passionate and dedicated dental educator. FRAYS has achieved a notable rating from the CQC, a testament to the exceptional standards Dr Aggarwal fosters.

A firm believer in independent and out-of-the-box thinking, Dr Aggarwal encourages students to challenge themselves and discover an enjoyable, fulfilling career path in dentistry. This philosophy is reflected in FRAYS’ impressive track record – all past students have progressed after qualifying, with many achieving specialist nursing roles and some even becoming dentists themselves.

Dr Aggarwal’s diverse background adds another layer to my teaching. Holding a degree in Mathematics alongside my dental expertise allows me to approach education from a unique and analytical perspective.
