Currently she is the owner of PDM Family Dental in Long Island, NY, a place she resides in with her husband and 2 boys. Dr. Makkar's life took a different trajectory when she lost her only and younger sibling, Dr. Manu Dua, to Oral Cancer last year. He was a Dentist as well. Since his death, she has devoted her time educating doctors and patients alike about risk factors, prevention and advocating for early diagnosis of Oral cancer. She has co-authored several Dental journals, has been presenting lectures to Dentists and has been a guest at several podcasts, besides her own podcast. She believes oral care is the gateway to overall well-being and aims to have open conversations with her patients. Dr. Parul Dua Makkar has been featured in the American, Canadian and British Dental Journals. She is the recipient of several awards.

As Parul grew up in different parts of the world, she lost her brother, Manu in the midst of Covid. Like many of you, she wears different hats of life as a mother, wife, practice owner, dentist, sister, daughter, daughter in law. When she learnt that her brother was moved to palliative care, she was in the middle of her work day and she had to continue seeing patients. At the time, she was in US and her brother in Canada, no time frame was given but she knew things weren’t good. She had to refocus, finish her day and then look to get a PCR test expedited. She was a day late and said her goodbye to her only sibling on a video call. She didn’t have a village of her core family to act as a buffer from grief. Parul is open about her own experience of anxiety, doubt, guilt, panic attacks as she found her healing and eventually her calling. One of the things that fill her bucket is meeting others, sharing stories of loss, and resilience. Due to her journey, Parul believes that you can’t travel this journey alone, it helps to have a guide to help you not feel as lost and lonely. Grief can be isolating even if you have an empathetic family. Parul will help you by drawing from her own experience in the world of grief while being a healthcare provider.
