Life Interrupted

Dr. Parul Dua Makkar completed her DDS at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 2003. She practiced in Calgary, AB, before moving to NY. She completed GPR training at Staten Island University Hospital, NY, in 2007 and has been in private practice since.


Currently, she is the owner of PDM Family Dental in Long Island, NY, where she resides with her husband and two boys.


Dr. Makkar's life took a different trajectory when she lost her only younger sibling, a Calgarian Dentist, Dr. Manu Dua, to Oral Cancer in March 2021. Since his death, she has devoted her time to educating doctors and patients 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 on several podcasts.


She is the host of the podcast, “Life Interrupted Dr. Dua's Survival Guide Podcast companion.” This podcast features Alberta's prominent Dental Specialists and Doctors.


She believes oral care is the gateway to overall well-being and aims to have open conversations with her patients. She is the recipient of the Denobi Awards 2022 and LI Excellence in Healthcare 2022. She has also co-authored the book ‘Life Interrupted, Dr. Dua’s Survival Guide’ which is a finalist for the CIPA Evvy Award.
