About

Shivani is a dental surgeon specialising in Public Health Dentistry — the branch of dentistry concerned with preventing disease and promoting oral health across communities, rather than treating one patient at a time. She completed her MDS at Sardar Patel Post Graduate Institute of Dental & Medical Sciences (SPPGIDMS), Lucknow, and now teaches and practises in the same department as an Assistant Professor.

Her work sits at the intersection of clinical dentistry, teaching, and public health — presenting at departmental CDE programmes and academic conferences, and guiding students through the practical and preventive sides of dental care.
