“I’ve been interested in a career in the healthcare field since I was a senior in high school, and then developed my passion for helping others learn about their oral health when I got into college.” For Kalika, teaching patients about the nuances and functions of teeth and helping them improve their oral hygiene practices is something she believes is essential to helping them better understand how oral health supports overall health.

Kalika earned a BDS and MDS (Orthodontics) from Himachal Pradesh University, India in 2015. In addition to finding joy in caring for patients, Kalika likes that dental assisting is a fast-paced job, and no two days are the same. Being a dental assistant allows her to have so many rewarding moments, but by far her favourite is being a part of giving someone back their smile.

Outside the practice, Kalika enjoys creative arts, cooking and watching movies.
