"Being a dentist with a public health background, I always wanted to help people navigate their oral health needs and find a solution. One thing that really motivated me to guide them was that most people did not have enough oral health knowledge and lacked oral health literacy. I wanted to impart and increase knowledge about oral health literacy so they would understand their needs and requirements and prioritize oral health.
Improving the communication skills of providers and patients is really important. To provide quality care, patients need to be able to make informed decisions. My mission is to provide good quality and affordable care, especially to people unaware of the importance of maintaining oral health so that they can maintain overall health in return."
