Tharusha hails from the sunny and spicy city of Durban, South Africa. Her bubbly personality and her professional desire to make a difference across the world, “one smile at a time,” has brought her to the sunny shores of Abu Dhabi. She strives to give her patients healthier smiles through impeccable treatments and dental advice that will lead to a positive change in their daily habits and overall oral health.
During her time in South Africa she was afforded the opportunity to be part of several outreach programmes. Tharusha’s career defining moment came, while she was at university, when she had volunteered at a mobile clinic, delivering primary health care to rural communities. This experience instilled a passion for dentistry and oral health improvement.
Tharusha enjoys social engagements, family time and a healthy lifestyle when off duty.
