Meet our staff Dr Praj Karkare comes from a family of dentists, and observed the dental clinic in-action through her childhood. This inspired her to pursue a career in dentistry, and to help the profession grow by conducting and publishing research on water fluoridation in Australia.

Praj loves forming real connections with her patients as she inspires them to protect their pearly whites, whether in English, Marathi or Hindi. She’s a natural at working with kids, and her calm demeanour makes it easy for her to settle any nerves or discomfort. Praj listens to each patient’s concerns with a deep sense of empathy, and regularly checks in throughout appointments to help them feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

Outside of dentistry, Praj loves spending time with her family, and is an avid traveller. Recent trips have taken her to the United States and Europe, but when she’s back in Sydney, Praj’s adventures usually involve exploring her local cafes.
