Get to know Dr. Sharifa

Dr. Sharifa handles the treatment that cannot happen with a child awake — sedation in the chair, or a full course under general anaesthesia in hospital so it is finished in one sitting.

In Dr. Sharifa’s words

What made you want to become a pediatric dentist?

Children have always had a special place in my heart. I was drawn to pediatric dentistry because it combines science, empathy, and creativity. Helping little ones feel safe, understood, and even excited about going to the dentist is the most rewarding part of my work.

What makes you different from other doctors in your practice?

I take the time to connect with each child emotionally, not just clinically. I create a calming, playful environment where they feel respected and heard. I also support parents every step of the way — because a confident parent helps build a confident child.

What are your favourite activities outside the office?

I love spending time with my sweet cat Joy and making memories with my nieces and nephews. I’m also passionate about handcrafts like decoupage and working with clay — they help me relax and express creativity in a different form.

What would you do for a living if you weren’t a pediatric dentist?

I’ve always dreamed of opening a specialized center for children with special needs — a safe, nurturing place where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Children with unique challenges deserve tailored care and a community that embraces them fully. My heart will always be with them, no matter where I am.
