Dr.Verma graduated in 2001 from A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences. After her graduation she went to England to pursue her MFDS and worked with Basildon and Thurrock university for a brief period as a part of her training. She then returned to India to pursue post graduate studies and acquired her Master of Dental Surgery (Pedodontics) in 2006 from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore.
Coming from a family of doctors and authors, she always had keen interest in writing which eventually led her to author various textbooks in dentistry with a demonstrated skill in publishing, writing, teaching & health care industry. In 2007, she authored her first title “Differential diagnosis of Dental Disease”.

Her second title “Dental Dictionary” was published in 2009. It was highly appreciated due its elaborative content and the first dictionary to have 1000+ illustrations and is still a best seller. The title was then converted into Spanish by Mc Graw Hill. In 2012 she received an award for best original research article by Indian society of Dental research. She was appointed as an Editor-in-chief for dental sciences (pan-India) at Jaypee Medical Publishers in 2014. During her three years of tenure at publishing house, she revamped major texts books in dentistry and worked all together on 31 titles.

She developed keen interest towards special care dentistry during her post-graduation days and has worked diligently in this area at clinical and public health level. She adopted various NGOs that dealt with children with special health care needs. She is closely associated with Delhi based organizations that work in special care dentistry. Taking her passion forward, she published another textbook ” Pediatric Dentistry for Special Child ” in 2015. The book is completely dedicated to children with special care needs in dentistry thereby becoming an essential part of post graduate curriculum in Indian subcontinent. The book is also available globally and has been appreciated by many experts in special care dentistry. PDSC spans across 500 pages and covers every aspect of pediatric special care dentistry. The book also made its way to the award of “Book of the year” 2019 by International association of dental students – India Chapter.

In 2015, she was offered to edit another challenging title “General medicine for dental students” and was successfully launched that year itself. In 2016, she had published another title for undergraduates “Essential quick review ” A series of 16 books that was created for Undergraduate Curriculum with a new concept. The title was accepted very well by students and is still available in different countries. In 2018 She completed her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Pediatric Dentistry from Nitte University, Mangalore.

In 2019 she co-authored another title i.e., “Clinical Guide for Overseas Dental Examination” for students to prepare for their UK Licensure and also completed her mini residency program in Developmental Dentistry from Kentucky (USA) under the able mentorship of Dr Henry Hood. The program focussed on treating adults with special care needs. This exposure was a complete eye opener and reflected the gap areas existing in the eastern side of the world that led to the formation of an Organization ” Federation of Special Care Dentistry” that intends to impart knowledge and awareness in the field of special care dentistry.
