There are a lot of things that you have to learn that aren't on the formal curriculum.

Ann Varghese

My name is Ann and I've recently qualified as a dentist. Having dental phobia as a child, I am particularly passionate about making dentistry a pleasant experience for patients and more accessible to the general public. I have keen interests in paediatric dentistry, oral surgery and dental public health. Aside from dentistry, I enjoy singing, reading, baking and spending time outdoors.
