Special areas of interest:
– Cosmetic dentistry (smile makeovers including veneers)
– Restorative dentistry (crown and bridge)
– Surgical extractions (including wisdom teeth removal)
– Root canal treatment
Dr Latha’s favourite aspect of being a dentist is educating patients and finding ways to help them avoid unpleasant dental visits. Achieving significant improvements often stems from making small changes.
Maintain healthy teeth by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between teeth daily, visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups, and eating a balanced diet.
