About Me
As a dentist with 4 years of clinical experience, I have developed a keen interest in the intersection of healthcare and technology, particularly in the field of software development. With my passion for both dentistry and software, I am excited to explore new ways of improving patient care through innovative technological solutions. I am currently pursuing master’s in Bioinformatics, where I am gaining expertise in the intersection of biology and software. In addition to my work as a dentist, I have written several blogs on various dental problems and software. I am excited to continue exploring the field of Bioinformatics and applying my knowledge to advance healthcare through technology.
Software Development
As a dentist-turned-software developer, I bring a unique perspective to the field of healthcare technology. With experience in both clinical dentistry and software development, I am uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between these two fields. With a strong background in both clinical dentistry and programming, I am passionate about creating innovative software solutions that improve patient care and enhance the practice of dentistry. My expertise in languages such as Python, Java, and R, coupled with my studies in bioinformatics, has equipped me with the skills necessary to build robust and effective software systems. I am excited to continue exploring the limitless potential of technology in the healthcare industry.
Computational Biology (Bioinformatics)
In today’s era of big data and advanced technologies, computational methods have become increasingly essential to the field of biology. As a dentist with a passion for software development, I recognized the importance of these methods early on in my career. Pursuing an MS in Bioinformatics has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the power of computation in biological research. With a strong background in programming languages such as Python, Java, and R, I have developed a skill set that allows me to tackle complex biological problems with confidence. I am particularly interested in leveraging my expertise to contribute to the development of new therapies and technologies that improve patient outcomes. Whether it’s developing computational models to predict drug efficacy or analyzing genomic data to uncover new biomarkers, I am excited to continue exploring the possibilities of computational biology and make a meaningful impact in the field.
Dentistry
Started my career as a dental professional with vast knowledge of dental care and dental services. Motivated and bilingual licensed dentist with more than 4 years of experience in providing good and effective dental care to patients. I have treated more than 2000 patients while working as dentist.
Expertise in all areas of general dentistry combined with experience in effective business and staff management. Passionate in being updated with new advancements in dentistry and skilled in digital intraoral scanning and CEREC technology.
Exposed to various types of cases and good understanding on restorative dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics and pediatrics.
Pericoronitis
Pericoronitis is the inflammation of the tissue surrounding a third molar teeth, also known as wisdom tooth. This condition most often occurs in molars that are partially impacted, or not fully erupted into the oral cavity. It is more common in lower molars than in the upper ones. Most people with pericoronitis have a flap of gum tissue partially or completely covering the crown of the erupting tooth.

Erythroplakia
Erythroplakia appears as abnormal red lesions on the mucous membranes in the oral cavity. The lesions typically occur on your tongue or on the floor of the mouth. The lesions of erythroplakia can’t be scraped off. Erythroplakia lesions are often found along with the leukoplakia lesions. Leukoplakia lesions appear as similar patches but leukoplakia lesions are white in color while erythroplakia are red in color.

Salivary Gland Disorders
Salivary glands produce saliva which keeps mouth moist, helps protect teeth from rapid decay, and helps in digestion of food. The salivary glands are relatively small, and they’re present around the inner linings of mouth, lips, and cheeks. Various kinds of diseases can affect salivary glands which range from cancerous tumors to Sjögren’s syndrome.

Lichen Planus
Lichen planus is an inflammatory condition of the skin and mucous membranes. It mostly occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells of the skin or mucous membranes. Lichen planus usually heals on its own and is not as dangerous as leukoplakia.

Leukoplakia
Leukoplakia is one of the white lesions of the oral cavity in which one or more white patches or lesions forms inside the mouth. Leukoplakia is different from other causes of white patches such as candidiasis or lichen planus because it can eventually progress into oral cancer. Within 15 years, about 3% to 17.5% of people with leukoplakia will develop squamous cell carcinoma which is a common type of skin cancer. The likelihood of developing into cancer from leukoplakia depends on its size, shape, and appearance of abnormal cells.
