Training and research
After qualifying as a general dental practitioner, Dr Saffarpour completed three years of postgraduate training in periodontology: the care of the gums and the bone that hold the teeth in place.

Her research matters most in the harder cases: gum disease, a loose or failing tooth, a treatment plan that has to hold up for years. She has spent much of her career studying exactly those.

How she works
Good dentistry, in her view, starts with listening.

She explains what she sees and what the options are before anything begins, and she is calm and patient with anyone who arrives nervous, working at their pace. Her approach is preventive: helping families and children keep healthy teeth for life, rather than repairing them later.
Outside the practice
She is a mother, and treasures the time she spends with her children.

She reads widely, world literature above all, and loves cinema. Both, she finds, feed the patience and curiosity she brings to the chair.
