Academic degree: | Bachelor of Dental Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am a general dentist who mostly works with root canals, fillings, extractions, gum issues, and yeah—implants too when the case calls for it. I don’t really stick to just one thing, kind of like the variety honestly. Some days it's all about saving a tooth with a tricky RCT, other times I’m dealing with a bleeding gum case that’s been ignored way too long (happens more than ppl think btw).
Root canal treatments have become something I’m quite used to now\... not always easy, especially when canals go all weird in shape, but I’ve learnt to stay patient (and keep retaking x-rays when needed lol). Fillings are more about precision and matching shades, which I used to overthink a lot in the beginning. Now I just focus on making sure the patient isn’t biting awkward after.
Extractions I only do when really necessary. Like if it’s unrestorable or giving constant pain. I try not to rush those because one wrong force and it gets complicated. And implants — they’re more recent in my work, but I like the process. Planning’s half the job, placement's about staying steady. I’m careful with them, still always triple-checking bone levels n stuff.
All that said, gum issues kinda surprise me the most. They look mild and then boom—pockets, mobility, all that. I’ve learnt not to underestimate chronic inflammation anymore. Anyway, all these areas kind of connect, and I just try to keep my basics strong each time. |
Achievements: | I am a BDS grad from 2023, that part feels like yesterday tbh. Right after that I kinda knew I didn’t want to stop just there—got into implantology and wrapped up my course in 2024. Not gonna lie, those hands-on drills stressed me out at first, but now they’re one of the most satisfying things to do (when they go right). Also finished my PGDCC in clinical cosmetology the same year. Bit of a shift, yeah, but I like mixing smile aesthetics with skin—it makes sense in practice. |
I am a dental surgeon and have been working at Show Your Smile Dental Care Pvt Ltd for the past 3 years now. It’s been a journey full of learning, patience and honestly, figuring out what really matters to patients beyond just teeth. Every case brings a new story, sometimes a challenge, sometimes just a routine thing that needs a bit of empathy and steady hands. I focus on general dentistry — from routine oral health checkups to restorative treatments. Over the years, I’ve got pretty comfortable handling root canal procedures, extractions, scaling, and dental fillings. I also assist with smile design consults when required but mostly I like staying involved in the long-term care plans where I can see progress happening slowly, visit after visit. It’s not always perfect, but it’s real. And patients remember that. One of the things I’ve leaned into more lately is just slowing down during consultations. Not rushing through the jargon. Trying to actually listen when someone says they’re scared of the sound of the drill or they had a bad experience somewhere else. That stuff matters, even if we don’t always talk about it. I feel like trust builds over time and sometimes a small bit of reassurance or explaining things in plain words goes a long way. The clinic itself — Show Your Smile Dental Care — is a place I’ve grown with. We're not some huge setup, but the environment is really warm and team-focused. We all help each other out when things get hectic (which happens a lot during holidays btw) and I’ve learned a lot just from observing seniors and how they communicate with patients. I won’t say I know everything or have it all figured out, because honestly, some days are hard. But I do show up with consistency, I stay curious, and I try to treat each person with respect no matter what they’re coming in for. It’s not always about fancy treatments; sometimes just fixing a chipped tooth or relieving pain changes someone’s whole week. And yeah—there’s still plenty to improve. Still mess up a rubber dam clamp once in a while, forget to adjust the light angle perfectly (ugh), or mix up a tray setup during a busy shift. But I try to own it, learn, and keep moving forward. Anyway, that’s me. Dentistry feels like the kind of work where showing up honestly and doing the basics well still counts for a lot.
