Experience: | 12 years |
Education: | The West Bengal University of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | DDS/DMD (Doctor of Dental Surgery / Doctor of Dental Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | Pediatric dentistry is where my real work lives where I focus on preventive and restorative oral care for children. I genuinely believe dental health starts way before the permanent teeth even come in. Baby teeth might be temporary, sure, but they’re laying the groundwork for everything that follows. I’ve seen it again and again. Kids who get the right care early on usually grow up with fewer dental issues later.
Oral rehabilitation under general anesthesia has been a huge help for complex cases or when extensive treatment is needed in a single visit. It allows me to provide safe, stress-free care for young patients who might not tolerate lengthy chairtime. My treatment area includes extractions, restorations, space maintainers, and full prosthetic rehabilitation when needed. Each case is unique, and sometimes things don’t go as planned—but that’s part of the job. The goal is always to make sure the child walks away with a healthy smile... and hopefully not too many tears! |
Achievements: | I completed my BDS with a strong academic record, which really shaped the way I approached clinical work later on. During my MDS, I topped my department at college—a moment that honestly gave me the confidence to dive deeper into my field. It wasn’t just about the marks, but the learning, late nights, and how much I grew as both a student and a clinician. |
I Have been practicing general dentistry for over 12 years, with an additional 2 years of dedicated experience in pediatric dentistry. With a strong foundation in comprehensive oral healthcare, I developed a reputation for handling both routine and complex dental cases with precision and empathy. From preventive care to restorative procedures, each treatment is tailored with patience and care, especially when working with children or patients who experience dental anxiety. Working with kids in the dental chair isn’t just about fixing teeth—it’s about earning their trust. In pediatric dentistry, I use simple, effective behavior techniques that genuinely help children feel at ease. Sometimes it’s a calm voice, other times just a silly moment to break the tension. Even pausing to explain what’s going on can make a big difference. The goal is always the same: to make sure every child leaves with a smile, not just on their face—but in their memory too. Comfort matters a lot—especially when it comes to kids in the dental chair. With training in both conscious sedation and general anesthesia, I can safely manage treatments that need a calm, controlled setting. Whether it’s a long procedure or a little one with special healthcare needs, this skill makes it easier to provide gentle care without added stress. It’s that balance between everyday dentistry and more tailored pediatric support that really makes a difference. Dentistry, to me, has always been more than just the technical stuff. It’s about building trust, calming nerves, and making sure people—whether they’re six or sixty—don’t walk in with dread. Sometimes that means letting a cartoon play above the chair, or cracking a silly joke right when the tension’s at its peak. Little things like that can make a big difference. Over the years, I’ve worked in all kinds of clinical setups and picked up solid hands-on experience with procedures like scaling, polishing, pulpotomies, and crowns. But whether it’s a child nervously braving their first filling or an adult who’s been putting off a root canal for months, I try to bring a calm presence, clear communication, and a bit of empathy every time someone sits in the chair.
