Sejal qualified as a Dental Hygienist from the esteemed Eastman Dental Hospital in 2012 and was awarded by the Royal College of Surgeons.
She has worked at Sweet Tooth Dental Care since 2014, providing oral health care and advice to patients, and is incredibly passionate about the importance that dental hygiene plays in preventing and treating periodontal disease.
Sejal ensures that each appointment is tailored to suit the patient’s needs and is often told by her nervous patients that seeing her over the many years has helped put them at ease, which makes Sejal’s job even more rewarding.
Outside of work Sejal is soon to be a mum of two, she loves spending time with her family including her young daughter who really keeps her on her toes. Sejal loves exploring different cuisines & trying new recipes out on her family and relaxes by doing mindful colouring and meditation.

I would like to recommend Denise and 185 Dental Practice – she is fantastic. I used to be one of those nervous patients – really scared of the dentist. Now I go there to lie down and have a rest whist she beautifies me. She is skilled professional and her injection skills are second to none! If you need good dentist look no further. I now look forward to going to the dentist, which is just fantastic.
