Professional Profile of Dr. Neha Date, Dentist

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

I'm Dr. Neha Date, the proud founder of Smile A While Dental Clinic. My journey in dentistry began with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Sinhgad Dental College & Hospital in 2016, followed by a Diploma in Implantology in 2018. In 2017, I established Smile A While Dental Care & Implant Centre, and we've grown to include a second branch in Kothrud in 2021.

Passionate about education, I founded India�s first formal educational program for Dental Assistants, certified by Tilak Maharashtra University. Read more.. I authored the textbook for this course and hold the government copyright for this significant work. Through this program, I've helped over 75 underprivileged women secure jobs as chairside dental assistants and provided educational funding for 40+ women in collaboration with Yardi Vasti Vikas Prakalp.

My dedication to dentistry extends beyond the clinic. I've promoted dental treatment loans in partnership with Janata Sahakari Bank and won the Lokmat Women Achievers Award 2020 for my efforts in women empowerment. Beyond dentistry, I�m a voiceover and dubbing artist, contributing to notable projects like Bahubali Marathi and Vedantu E-Learning. I�m also an active keynote speaker on women entrepreneurship and have shared my insights on platforms like BNI and Akashwani.

Fluent in Marathi, Hindi, English, and Kannada, I also run two YouTube channels: 'Smile-A-While by Dr. Neha Date' and 'Shishu Bhasha,' focusing on Marathi language skills. My mission is to blend my dental expertise with community service, education, and creative expression. [shrink]
