I just want to be prepared...

Meet Shubhada, a sassy lady who wears many hats. She's an IT pro, a working mother of 2, event organiser, and writer. Originally from India, she has called Singapore her home for past 12 years.

She has a dramatic oral health history! Since she was 5, she started going through a lot of dental treatments. Fillings, extraction, root canal, crowns, bridges - you name it, she's probably done it. Despite her multiple encounters with dentists, she was still very apprehensive when it came to dental implants.

She was very fearful of the pain and recovery. However, her bridge was already giving way; she couldn't even eat properly. FInally, she mustered up her courage and went for it. She has never looked back since then!

Join her live AMA on Thursday 22 November 2018 at 5:30 pm as she discusses her dental implant experience.
