    After finishing my graduation from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2017, I worked there as a post-graduate trainee in a hospital setting and as a general dentist in private practice for about 2 years. I started my MClinDent (Masters of Clinical Dentistry) in Endodontics in Cardiff University in 2019. During my 3 year-long post-graduate training, I got to work on complex endodontic cases and developed my patient portfolio. In addition, I possess the diploma of M.Endo (membership in Endodontics) under RCS Ed (Royal College Surgeons of Edinburgh). I worked in Torbay and South Devon NHS trust hospital setting in Uk which included emergency on-call cases and surgical aspects of dentistry; from this experience I can relate to the significance of a good endodontic solution even more. I genuinely believe trying to save teeth with endodontics treatments (Root canal treatment, root canal re-treatments, Peri-radicular surgeries) can enhance the quality of patients life. My principle is to try to deliver the highest quality endodontic treatments to my patients as per my ability and help them restore teeth.Outside work, my hobbies are mostly exploring music, painting, travelling and strength training whenever I get time.
