Dr Charu Aggarwal

Dentistry has been my lifelong passion! From my teenage years, inspired by my family of medical professionals, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. My educational journey began at the prestigious Carmel Covenant School in Chandigarh, India, where I completed my elementary, middle, and high school education. Following my passion, I continued my studies at the picturesque campus of Himachal Dental College in India, where I received an outstanding education in dentistry. After completing my education, I embarked on my professional journey as a general dentist in the private sector for one year. Alongside my professional commitments, I dedicated my spare time to volunteering in rural areas across India, providing much-needed dental care to underserved communities. In 2001, I married my husband, Amit, and together we relocated to the United States. Eager to further my expertise, I pursued advanced dental education at the esteemed dental programs of UCLA. In 2004, I successfully passed the California Dental Board Exam, obtaining my license to practice dentistry in the US. Despite my move to the US, my commitment to serving underserved communities in India remains steadfast. I regularly return to India to volunteer as a dentist, offering my services to schools and villages that lack access to dental care. Additionally, I stay abreast of the latest advancements in dentistry by attending educational conferences and continuously updating my skills and knowledge. Outside of my professional life, I am happily married to my husband, Amit, who works in investments. Together, we are blessed with beautiful twin daughters named Mahek and Mannat. I cherish spending quality time with my family, indulging in hobbies such as cooking, traveling, listening to podcasts, and creating cherished memories together.
