Nathalie Selvanathan, DDS

DDS from University of the Pacific

Dr. Nathalie Selvanathan received her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in India. She worked in rural parts of India and as her passion for dentistry grew, she sought to learn more. She embarked on her journey to the United States. She did a brief internship in Prosthodontics at the University of California, San Francisco while in dental school at the University of the Pacific. She went for additional training and a mini-residency in dental implants. She graduated from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in 2006 and worked in central California for over 10 years. Due to the heavy influx of Hispanic patients, she taught herself Spanish so she could better serve the community.

Her knowledge and skills in cultural diversity began at a young age in Nigeria, North Africa. Her hometown in southern India was rich in French and Vietnamese culture.

In short, Dr. Selvanathan has seen and worked in dentistry in several countries. This awareness of cultural diversity and her linguistic skills, not to mention her knowledge and experience in dentistry are what makes her unique.

She is currently doing her Masters in Geriartric dentistry at Ostrow school of dentistry,USC. And is a part time faculty at California Northstate university.
