Lt Col (Dr) Sofia Shahid is a dental surgeon ex Indian Army with over 20 years of experience. She has served across the length and breadth of the country providing dental treatment to the Officers, Soldiers and their families in field as well as peace areas.
Through out her professional career she observed that children the the most unnoticed victims of dental problems. A child is not able to express his/her dental problem and the parents are not able to notice until the child complains of severe pain. More often it is too late and the tooth either requires extraction or expensive root canal treatment. One can only repent that had the problem been detected at an early stage, it could have been treated in a most inexpensive and pain free manner preventing the current situation.
Post release from the Army, she has started her own dental clinic more as a social service and a mission for prevention of dental caries in children. While the mission is focussed at prevention of dental caries in children, it is the parents who need to be made aware of what are the common dental problems, what causes those problems, how can they be prevented and God forbid, if they do occur, how to detect and rectify these problems at an early stage.
