I routinely carry out complex treatments under local anaesthesia and inhalation sedation. I carry out restorative care, exodontia, and treatment of caries. I provide extensive and complex aesthetic treatments such as composite veneers and onlays for the patients with dental anomalies such as amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinoogenesis imperfecta and hypodontia. I also carry out prosthetics for children with hypodontia and interceptive orthodontics and interceptive orthodontics using removable appliances. I routinely treat children with complex dento-alveolar injuries including splints, apexification and apexogenesis. I carry out treatment under general anaesthesia on weekly basis where children requiring surgical treatment mainly for the medically compromised patients. I closely work with other medical team to ensure optimal care to my patients. I attend regular clinical governance, theatre (GA) and management meetings and participate in journal club. I also teach undergraduate, postgraduate students and junior registrars regularly by providing lectures, tutorials and seminars and also supervising them on the clinics. I am actively involved in research and audit projects and supervise junior member of staff on their projects as well.

January 2016-present

Specialist in Paediatric Dentistry, Raglan Suite, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK

Raglan Suite is a well established private referral practice based in Harrogate dedicated to providing the highest standard of dental treatment and a five star patient experience. I provide all aspect of dental treatments for children including consultation clinic, managing children who are anxious, with dental anomalies, medically compromised and who suffered dental trauma, providing inhalation sedation safely and effectively.

September 2013-Februery 2017

Specialty Registrar and Academic clinical Fellow in Paediatric Dentistry, Leeds Dental Institute (LDI), Leeds, UK

I routinely attended new patient consultant clinics at LDI and Seacroft Hospitals. I also attended multidisciplinary clinics (joint ortho/ peads, joint ortho/paeds/restorative, premolars transplant and trauma clinics.

I routinely carried treatments under local anaesthesia and inhalation sedation. I carried out restorative care, exodontia, and treatment of caries, dental anomalies such as amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinoogenesis imperfecta and hypodontia. I also carried out prosthetics for children with hypodontia and interceptive orthodontics and interceptive orthodontics using removable appliances. I routinely treated children with traumatised teeth including splints, apexification and apexogenesis. I carried out treatment under general anaesthesia on weekly basis where children requiring surgical treatment mainly for the medically compromised patients. I also attended on the oncology ward at Leeds general infirmary to screen the children due to have chemo/radiotherapy and arrange required assessment and treatment.

August 2012-August 2013

SHO in Paediatric Dentistry, Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, Sheffield, UK

As an SHO in Paediatric Dentistry I have gained invaluable experience in the management of complex treatment cases including amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogensis imperfecta and fluorosis. I have acquired specialist skills in root canal therapy including obturation with mineral trioxide and the thermoplastic obturation systems. I have had the opportunity to use electro-surgery in cases where access has been impaired by gingival overgrowth and investigate suspected tooth fractures with the microscope and I have also performed non vital tooth revascularisation of traumatised central incisors. My posts have enabled me to manage and successfully treat individuals with behavioural issues including anxious and autistic patients. I am also responsible for providing treatment to patients with special needs. My regular inhalation and intravenous sedation sessions enable me to dedicate time to these groups of patients. I am confident in understanding the importance of informed consent and establishing parental responsibility. These issues are significant in child protection cases and serves to highlight the importance of comprehensive record keeping and understanding the role as a clinician in alerting appropriate members of the team.

I carried out treatment under general anaesthetic. My theatre sessions have given me the chance to surgically extract teeth including supernumeraries and expose and bond canines.

I have attended multidisciplinary hypodontia and mixed dentition clinics. This has allowed me to understand the importance of interceptive orthodontics and timely referrals to relevant specialities and appreciate the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

August 2011-August 2012

SHO in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK

In this position, I performed minor dento-alveolar surgery including simple and surgical exodontia under local and general anaesthesia. I also dealt with dental and facial trauma and carry out minor oro-facial surgery including planned biopsies and emergency suturing of lacerations under local, general anaesthesia. I was responsible for acceptance, examination, investigation, diagnosis and treatment planning of patients referred through the emergency department and from dental or medical practitioners.

On-call experience has improved my confidence and efficiency at treating paediatric and adult patients with dento-facial trauma and other emergencies. It has also improved my communication with anxious children, parents and apprehensive adults. I understand the importance of caring for children and their safeguarding. My G.A pre-assessment duties and frequent performance of dental screenings for medically compromised patients have heightened my awareness of relevant medical challenges of such patients. I routinely reviewed patients following surgery and am responsible for discharging such patients when fit. I also assisted in complex oro-facial procedures including orthognathic, tempromandibular, parotid surgery and major cancer cases. I also took part in joint surgical-orthodontic-restorative and pain clinics. I regularly pre-assess medically compromised patients awaiting elective and emergency surgical procedures under general anaesthetic which require constant communication with doctors of other specialities. I also gained further experience in performing dental screening for patients undergoing cardiac surgery, cancer therapy and immunocompromised patients.

November 2010-August 2011

SHO in Paediatric Dentistry, Bristol Dental Hospital, Bristol, UK

In the hospital environment I routinely provided preventive and conservative restorations and minor surgical procedures for children. I have become more focused on behavioural management of anxious patients, the management of medically compromised patients, pre general anaesthetic (GA) assessment, treatment under GA including minor oral surgery and restorations, treatment under Relative Analgesia (RA), management of traumatized teeth, basic and advanced paediatric restorative techniques and managemnet of patients with structural defect of the teeth such as Amelogenesis Imperfecta and Dentinogenesis Imperfecta. I routinely participated in new patient clinics in orthodontics and paediatrics. I also closely observed all stages in the planning and treatmentt of orthognathic cases. My role included initial patient assessments, organising investigations, attending pre-surgical consultations, assisting in surgical procedures, post-operative management and participation in follow-up appointments. I was involved in screening children with cardiac defects at Bristol Children's Hospital and providing dental care for them prior to cardiac operation. Within primary care, I was responsible to plan and complete treatment for adults and children.

October 2007-September 2010

Research

A systematic review of home-based toothbrushing practices by parents of young children to reduce dental caries

Masters project was to investigate the quality of life, dental and psychosocial needs of patients with Ectodermal Dysplasia. It was entitled: ‘The impact of the dental manifestations of Ectodermal Dysplasia on affected children’.

Undergraduate thesis investigated and compared the antibacterial effectiveness of Irsha anti plaque mouthwash, which contains benzoic acid and sodium fluoride with Chlorhexidine.
