Dr Sagar graduated from a university in India in 2001. After completing his MSc in research in Scotland, he registered with the UK General Dental Council in 2008. He has special interest in orthodontics and minimally invasive dentistry.

In addition to caring for the dental health of patients in both private and NHS practices in Scotland and England, he has also worked as a clinical assistant to specialist orthodontists since 2010.

Dr Sagar enjoys working with all age groups but the opportunity to educate young children to understand how they can prevent dental disease really motivates him. He believes that good health, including healthy teeth and happy smiles, is the best gift parents can pass on to the next generation.

He has, therefore, limited his practice mainly to Orthodontics since the start of 2018, assisting orthodontic specialists in London and Cambridge.

Outside dentistry, Karun enjoys playing cricket and being the father to his two little ones.
