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.
Gum Diseases
Gum diseases are of two types: a mild form of gum disease includes gingivitis, and a severe form of gum disease includes periodontitis. Gingivitis means inflammation of the gum which usually happens before periodontitis which means inflammation and destruction of the surrounding tissues of the teeth like periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, etc. Most of the humans get gingival inflammation at some point or the other point in their lives but due to their negligence, it progresses into periodontitis.

Dental Caries
Dental caries or otherwise known as the dental cavity is a very common chronic infectious disease resulting from tooth-adherent cariogenic bacteria, most prominently Streptococcus Mutans, which metabolizes the sugars to produce acid and demineralize the tooth structure over time. Dental caries is a major public health problem and is the most widespread non-communicable disease(NCD).

Parts of A Tooth
Teeth are essential for mastication(chewing) but beyond this function, teeth serve multiple functions including shaping the kinetics of phonation(speech), breathing, maintaining a patent airway, and serving as the foundation for the shape of the face. The maxilla(upper jaw) and mandible(lower jaw), which together form the jaw, contain alveolar bone, a thick ridge of bone that forms the sockets of the teeth.

Oral Health
The Global Burden of Disease Study of 2017 conducted by the World Health Organization(WHO) found that around 3.5 billion people across the globe suffer from oral health problems. Routine health care checkups will allow us to access the status of our oral health which can help us to prevent as well as restore our natural tooth structure.
