Personal Statement1 It is truly said that “smile is a universal welcome.” Dental health and hygiene affect everything including other medical pathologies. I first became interested in dentistry when I was in school.At that time one of the well-known dentists of my community organized a dental checkup and awareness camp in my school for all the students. He explained to us the importance of dental hygiene and how it affects our whole body. I was impressed by his speech and knowledge. It made me curious about dentistry. I visited his dental clinic for 3-4 times with one of my relative who was undergoing dental treatment at that time. I was surprised by knowing that dentistry is such a vast field and there are lots of opportunities. I made up my mind to enter in the field of dentistry and decided to go to dental college after completion of my high school study. I started preparing myself to qualify for dental college, and in the year of 2006, I got the admission in Manubhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Vadodara (India) from where my journey of the dentistry began. Ever since I entered in the field of dentistry, I have applied myself diligently to acquire more experience in the dental field. I started to visit nearby dental clinics after my college time for 1-2 hours daily when I was doing my internship.

When I was in my college, I have attended 3 Dental Outreach Program which was conducted by Dr. Girish Shah of New York University College of dentistry in Kutch region (India). I have joined this program as a volunteer, and this was an excellent opportunity for me to work with international Dentist. I learned a lot of new things from him which have added one more feather in my dental career. I have finished my one-year compulsory rotating internship from 2010 to 2011. After completing my B.D.S (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) from the Manubhai Patel Dental College, I started my practice at Chaitanya Dental Clinic and Implant Centre, Anand (India) in July 2011 where I treated a lot of patients for about one and half year.
