ASSOC PROF DR ANNAPURNY VENKITESWARAN
Welcome to the official website of the Malaysian Association of Paediatric Dentistry (MAPD).
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our online platform, which serves as a hub for information, collaboration, and professional development in the field of paediatric dentistry in Malaysia. The Malaysian Association of Paediatric Dentistry is dedicated to advancing the oral health and wellbeing of children through education, research, advocacy, and the promotion of high standards of clinical care.
As paediatric dentists, we share a common commitment to ensuring that every child receives safe, effective, and compassionate dental care. Through MAPD, we aim to strengthen professional networks, support continuous learning, and encourage the exchange of knowledge among clinicians, academics, and students who share an interest in children’s oral health.
Our association actively organises scientific meetings, training programmes, and outreach initiatives that contribute to the development of paediatric dentistry in Malaysia. We also work closely with healthcare professionals, educational institutions, and policymakers to promote preventive strategies and improve access to quality dental care for children.
This website is designed to keep our members and the wider community informed about our activities, upcoming events, educational resources, and opportunities for professional engagement. I encourage you to explore the site and take advantage of the resources available.
On behalf of the committee of the Malaysian Association of Paediatric Dentistry, I would like to thank our members, partners, and supporters for their continued dedication to improving children’s oral health.
Together, we can continue to nurture healthy smiles and brighter futures for the children of Malaysia.
Warm regards,
Annapurny Venkiteswaran
