She enjoys helping her patients achieve optimal oral health, and ultimately, a better quality of life, even when they have busy lifestyles.
In recent years, Manjit has taken an interest in the link between oral health and general health.

She has recently completed a short course in chronobiology from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, on how rhythms structure life.

She has always been keen to motivate patients to improve and maintain their oral health. Her compassionate approach to patient care reflects her beliefs in ‘treating people and not just teeth’.
