ABOUT

WHAT DESIRES US?

HISTORY

My name is Takiel Gibson and I am the owner of Dental Desires. I grew up living in the poverty of Baltimore. I’ve always loved engineering and creating things, but it was a struggle to express this love due to the lack of funding at my Baltimore City high school. It was so poor that we couldn't afford a Spanish or a Chemistry teacher and by the end of my junior year, the school was eventually shut down. But lucky for me, that was the same year my family moved to Essex where I was able to graduate from a stem academy as this school gave me a chance to create so many opportunities for my STEM future. For instance, I built an Electrical car and used it to race at the 5th Annual RFK Electrical Car Grand Prix. From this experience, I was inspired to make sure that I do not end up in poverty again. Until I started attending McDaniel College, and started to realize that instead of running away from the problem, I should try to solve it. As a Biology/Pre-Med Graduate, that's when I got the idea of Dental Desires! We plan to launch our innovative toothpaste flavors to bring the fun in dental hygiene for children and adults while also providing more jobs for low income individuals!
