Dr. Diksha Batra has been a practicing dentist for over a decade, now 13 years to be precise. She has specialized in the field of implantology and is a surgeon who replaces missing teeth to restore people’s smiles. People often call her the “PainFreeDentist” as her practice philosophy is modelled along the lines of creating pain free dental experiences keeping dental fear and phobia away and dealing with patients to provide utmost care and comfort. While that is something she does as a business she also caters to underprivileged masses in our country who have no access to expensive dental care, the Angel Dentists Network, a part of PainFreeDentist initiative.
When she started on this journey she was one doctor and had one dental assistant ever since then they have grown to more than 500 volunteering doctors with over 300 camp locations spread across 16 cities in India. They started small but have gradually set up their processes to serve any community with special needs in any part of the country. One of Dr. Diksha Batra’s proudest moments was setting up the denture camps of Ladakh where they have been making dentures. At the foot of the Himalayas they have fixed the teeth for residents who don’t have access to dental care due to the harsh weather and underdeveloped regions. The residents trek 300-400 kms to avail the dental services.
One of the PainFreeDentist's most successful outreach activities has been to reach out to over 50,000 people across 16 cities in India where they have taught children the importance of brushing and were successful in providing them with the toothbrushes and toothpastes on the occasion of independence day. The effort was massive and the logistics were a challenge which they never thought they would be able to sustain. However, they persevered and the response pictures and videos were heartwarming and overwhelming. This stands out as a high point in Dr. Diksha Batra’s career.
