I’m Dr. Ambika Amini, a GDC-registered dentist and the co-founder of My Private Dentist. My approach to dentistry is uniquely shaped by my foundational degree in Neuroscience from the University of Manchester. This background gives me a deep appreciation for the connection between oral health and overall well-being, particularly in understanding patient anxieties and the science of habit formation. My goal is to combine this scientific perspective with my clinical experience to provide compassionate, evidence-based advice that truly empowers our readers.
I graduated with Honours in Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Queen Mary, University of London (Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry) in 2014. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor of Science (BSc) with Honours in Neuroscience from the University of Manchester. I am a fully registered dentist with the UK’s General Dental Council (GDC).

My role on the review team is to bring a critical, scientific lens to every product we evaluate. I focus heavily on the clinical evidence behind a product’s claims, assessing the materials used, the quality of the research cited by manufacturers, and its real-world application for different patient needs. With my background in neuroscience, I am particularly interested in how a product’s design impacts user experience and encourages consistent, healthy habits. My commitment is to ensure our recommendations are not just based on opinion, but are grounded in solid scientific principles.
