Dr. Shyama Chalam hails from Bangalore, a vibrant city in southern India known for its rich cultural heritage. Her journey in dentistry began in India, where she completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery followed by a Master’s degree in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Bangalore.
With advanced training in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Chalam has a special passion for working with children and making their dental visits positive, comfortable, and stress-free.

Her gentle and patient approach focuses on building trust, easing anxiety, and helping children feel safe and confident in the dental chair.
After moving to Canada, Dr. Chalam continued her professional journey and completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Dentistry in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During her training in Canada, she further developed an interest in caring for adults who experience dental anxiety, bringing the same patience, compassion, and reassuring approach that she uses with her younger patients.
Dr. Chalam currently practices at pediatric-focused specialty dental offices in the Greater Toronto Area, where she continues to provide compassionate and child-centred dental care.
