I deliver compassionate, safety-focused dental care in clinical and community settings. I also work as online virtual assistant.
What I'm looking for
I'm a BDS graduate from Dow University of Health Sciences and have provided supervised dental care as a House Officer at Dow International Dental College.
I perform routine and emergency procedures in a high-volume teaching hospital, including patient triage, restorative treatments, surgical extractions, root canal treatment, scaling, polishing, and paediatric procedures.
I support safe clinical decisions through radiographic interpretation, local anaesthesia, HMIS documentation, dental photography, and oral-health education for patients and attendants.
Beyond the clinic, I've led blood-donation awareness campaigns, coordinated dental conference teams, organised dental camps, and represented students through APDSA and community patient-care initiatives.
