Area of specialization: | I am mainly into conservative dentistry—really drawn to early stage treatment before things go down to the root n’ cause all kinda apical mess. My main aim is to spot decay as early as possible, like really early, and get to work on restorations that save the tooth. I try to stop infections right at the enamel-dentin line—once it crosses deeper, it gets more complicated n painful for the patient. I stick to minimaly invasive methods, not just cause they sound good, but they actually help keep tooth structure safe in the long run. Honestly I think saving the natural tooth is always better than replacing it. Whether it's a small composite fill or bigger decay management, I try to make the patient feel comfy, explain what’s going on in plain terms, and fix things up without overdoing it. And yes, I keep pain as low as possible—nobody likes sitting in the chair anxious. Precision, patience and timely care—guess that’s my thing basically. |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud of co-authoring a paper on “Enactment of Consent in Healthcare” published in Cahiers Magellanes—Vol 07 Issue 1 (2025).. felt really close to my interest in ethics & rights. Also bagged 2nd place in a e-poster event—tried turning complex research into something that’s actually readable & visual, which was tricky tbh! But it showed me how good communication matters in clincial side of things too. |
I am someone who's built my clinical roots by really getting into the flow of daily dentistry—assisting senior dentists, learning from hands-on experience, and getting my hands into real patient cases right from the start. Most of my exposure’s been in preventive and restorative dental care, where I worked closely on procedures like oral prophylaxis, restorations (a lot of them!), and extractions. Nothing too glamorous at first glance maybe, but that’s where I kinda learned the real rhythm of dentistry, like patient flow, chairside decisions, and how to stay calm when a procedure doesn’t go textbook-smooth. I’ve also had the chance to serve in multiple community dental camps. These were intense, not just because of the patient volume but also the conditions—limited resources, lots of need, and a constant reminder that basic oral care still isn't a given for everyone. These camps helped me not only sharpen my clinical decision-making but also really built up my confidence... and honestly made me respect the public side of dentistry way more. There was also a good chunk of time where I supported patients via teleconsultation—especially during lockdowns. I’d guide them with dental pain, hygiene advice, post-procedure care, or even just reassure them that things weren’t as bad as Google made them think. It wasn’t always easy—I mean, trying to explain flossing over a call?? But it did improve my communication skills, for sure. I always try to mix clarity with kindness when I’m talking to patients. Doesn’t matter if it’s a basic cleaning or a complex composite build-up—I want them to feel involved in what’s happening inside their own mouth. I focus a lot on making patients feel safe and heard, while staying grounded in evidence-based dental care that actually works and lasts.
