Favourite Part About Being a Dentist
“What I love most is being able to help people and bring a smile to their face. Dentistry is about more than teeth—it’s about confidence, comfort, and building trust. Being part of someone’s journey toward better health is incredibly fulfilling.”
Dr Nisha’s Smile Tip
“Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste, floss once a day, and rinse after every meal. And don’t forget your six-monthly dental visit—prevention is always better than cure.”
