I grew up in Jaipur a cultural city in Northwest India. I did my Bachelors in Dental Surgery (BDS) at Government dental college in Punjab, India, and graduated as a valedictorian and Best Graduate 2007. Pursuing higher education, I attended Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Boston University, MA, and graduated with an Honors Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, 2011. Post-graduation, I worked for Kool Smiles, Danville, VA for seven years, which provided me a unique experience working with kids. I then relocated to North Carolina in 2018 and worked for Dental Works, Fayetteville, NC prior to starting my practice Smile Mantra Family Dentistry. I keep myself au fait of the latest development through continuing education courses that provide me with an expansive, contemporary, and in-depth summary of current developments in general dentistry. With my continued interest in dental research, I have co-authored peer-reviewed manuscripts.
In my journey as a dentist, I feel blessed to provide dental care and education to people of all ages and backgrounds. Every day, I am thrilled to meet wonderful people, listen to their concerns, and help them achieve their goals of good oral health. I am married to my wonderful husband, Abhishek Singh, who is a biotech research scientist. We have two beautiful daughters Nandika and Anika, who keep us busy. In my free time, I love traveling, reading biographies, and spending time with family/friends.
