Daljit qualified with BDS from Guy’s Dental Hospital, London in 1996. Following this she worked as a house officer in the Oral and Maxillofacial surgery department in Birmingham at the QEH. Whilst in general practice she gained her MFGDP qualification and subsequently enrolled in the MSc program in Periodontology at GKT. Daljit’s research project- ‘The short term effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment on circulating levels of Endotoxin, C-Reactive Protein, Tumour Necrosis Factor-α and Interleukin-6’ was nominated for the Sir Wilfred Fish Prize and was presented at the Royal College of Surgeons in 2001.

Since completing the MSc program in 2001 Daljit has taught as a clinical teacher at GKT and in 2005 limited her practice to Periodontics. For the last 20 years she has worked at several referral practices in central London and the southeast accepting referrals in the field of periodontics. Daljit has continued to lecture to dentists and hygienists over the years. She has a wide range of experience treating complex periodontal cases including crown lengthening, ridge augmentation, root coverage procedures, guided bone regeneration, socket preservation and multidisciplinary treatment planning. She keeps up to date with developments in the field by attending national and international courses and conferences.

As well as working in private practice Daljit has continued her involvement in research and has recently taken a role as a Clinical Research Dentist at the Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Craniofacial Sciences at King’s College London.
