As a pioneer in the realm of psycho-dentistry, I didn’t just see dentistry as a clinical practice—I felt the deeper struggles of every patient in my chair. It became clear that tooth decay, gum disease, or even jaw pain was often rooted in unresolved stress, fear, or emotional burdens. Years ago, a patient’s anxiety-driven tooth grinding led me to explore a holistic approach: merging psychology with dentistry. By combining emotional understanding with treatment, we turned distress into confidence and set a transformative journey in motion for many others.
