Tell us a bit more about your background
I am a general dental practitioner (GDP) from India with more than nine years of clinical experience. Before moving to the UK, I managed four clinics before the pandemic, and later two clinics as both practitioner and manager. My work has always gone beyond treatment – I focused on raising awareness about oral health, counselling patients, and helping them understand that oral health is directly linked to overall health.
