Growing up in the busy city of London, I decided for a change and so attended the University of Liverpool to study Dentistry. Since graduating I have developed a particular interest in root canal treatment and aesthetic dentistry. In my final year of University, I was awarded the Tom Pitt-Ford prize for Endodontics and am currently undertaking further training in the field of aesthetic and restorative Dentistry. I also have an interest in treating anxious patients, as I too was scared of Dentists when I was younger! It was a gentle and calming dentist that I saw in my youth that got me over this fear and it was then that I realised what a difference qualities such as these can make, and how they can positively impact on someones life. These are qualities, I always aim to emulate in my daily practice. Outside of work, I enjoy playing and watching a range of sports such as Football, Cricket and Formula 1. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family, whenever I get the opportunity.During his time in education, Dr Kumar was awarded the Tom Pitt-Ford prize for Endodontics.Diseases, Medical Tests and TreatmentsDental BridgesDental crownsDental implantsDenturesFillingsSmile makeoverTeeth straighteningTeeth whiteningTooth contouringTooth extractionsVeneersRoot canal treatmentCosmetic dentistryEmergency dentistryGum diseaseMouth cancerPeriodonticsProsthodonticsTMJAesthetic dentistry
