Dentistry with Heart
Hello there, thank you for stopping by. This blog is based on true incidents from my life and personal experiences that have inspired, taught, and helped me grow both personally and professionally as a dentist.
These posts are not fiction or exaggeration. In some cases, I may have changed personal details such as name/gender/health condition to protect a patient’s privacy. Any time I reveal someone’s personal information it is with their explicit consent.
This is not your everyday dental blog. In fact, you will not find much related to dentistry unless it is about the human experience. Each post is based on an event or experience that shaped my life. And I hope it shapes yours too in some small way.
Please spare a moment to leave me a comment at the bottom.
My best always,
Dr. Vijaya Kallam
