Institutions of Legacy Sdm Ayurveda - wellness centers

When dentistry was still not widely prioritized in rural India, Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade established SDM College of Dental Sciences with a humble batch of 40 students.

The most cherished dream of Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade just marked 39 years and embarked its journey into 40th year. And what’s remarkable is the college’s community oral health mission. The attached 50-bed hospital doesn’t just serve affluent patients seeking cosmetic dentistry, it treats poor children with severe dental decay, farmers with oral cancer screening, and marginalized communities with periodontal disease. School dental camps reach thousands of children annually. Mobile dental clinics travel to villages, providing preventive care and health education
