Article from the Reading Chronicle - Earley woman wins national award for Best Young Dentist
5th December 2025

Dr Kiran Shankla, who works at Kendrick View Dental Practice, on London Road, scooped the award in front of over 1000 fellow professionals at The Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane, London.

The former Maiden Erleigh pupil fought off 18 other finalists on the night to secure the award, with the judging panel made up of industry-leading dentists, clinicians and academics.

The category had the largest number of applicants of any in the competition.

Dr Shankla, who has lived in Earley for 22 years, said: It's amazing to have won it, it's been a long career, and it's nice to be recognised. I love working in the area, and it's great to be growing a good reputation.

As well as having been a practising dentist for 12 years, Dr Shankla lectures around the UK and internationally. She used the opportunity to highlight the importance of visiting the dentist, the role dentists play in society, and how to prevent oral health diseases.

What’s New Around the Practice

You may have noticed a few new updates around the practice recently. We’ve installed a new sign in reception to give the area a fresh, welcoming look as soon as you arrive.

We’ve also added a new information board in the hallway, where you’ll find useful updates about the practice, policies and general patient information. Please feel free to take a moment to have a look while you’re visiting us.

We’re always looking for ways to improve your experience, and we hope these small changes help make your visits clearer, calmer, and more comfortable.
