The important stuff

What’s most important to me (and 100% my reason for doing what I do) is successfully and carefully treating patients and also passing on skills to other dental practitioners.

I believe that 80% of all dental treatment can be carried out by all GDPs. Dentists who choose to focus in one area make up the remaining 20% – it’s a question of balance and teamwork.

Dr Dhiraj Arora

I love a challenge and believe we all learn from our mistakes – it’s what makes us better each day. I am keen to build a community and share experiences – helping each other all the time.

Teaching

My love of teaching led me to gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Education from Oxford Brookes University in 2017. I mentor newly qualified dentists and am involved at the London Deanery as a Dental Foundation Trainer. I also design and deliver other postgraduate endodontic teaching sessions.

My earlier background

I graduated from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ Dental Institute, completing my Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2007. In 2009, I gained The Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties at The Royal College of Surgeons of England. To continue to satisfy my passion for endodontics, I completed my Master’s in Endodontic Practice at Barts and The Royal London.

Other key things to know about me:

• I am a member of the British Endodontic Society
• I am a member of the European Society of Endodontology
• My primary research interest is in the use of CBCT and digital imaging in endodontics
• My research “Accuracy of 3D Endo CBCT software for Preoperative Working Length Determination, an in vitro study” is due to be presented at the next British Endodontic Society Scientific Meeting
• I love to travel, enjoy good food and spend quality time with my wife, Simrith, and our young children: Arissa and Dylan (you can see them below!)
