Dr. Grover graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Dentistry and completed her residency at New York Medical College’s Metropolitan Hospital. Her integrative, whole-body approach treats the mouth as a gateway to overall health, while emphasizing exceptional service, clear communication and a welcoming environment where patients feel genuinely valued and cared for.
Q: What inspired you to take a more integrative, whole-body approach to dentistry?
A: While researching gene expression in dental school, I saw how bacteria linked to gum disease triggered inflammation throughout the body, not just in the mouth. It was clear to me, even then, that oral health isn’t isolated; it’s directly connected to overall health. If inflammation in the mouth can contribute to conditions like heart disease or diabetes, it only makes sense to treat patients holistically. Our Mouth, Mind & Body® approach uses advanced tools and diagnostics to look beyond symptoms—considering sleep and breathing patterns, diet, immune health and other lifestyle factors—to identify root causes and prevent problems before they start. True health is understanding how everything is linked. Oral health is a portal to whole-body wellness, and every patient deserves care that connects the dots.
Q: What do you most look forward to when you go to work each day?
A: Helping people take control of their health. Many first-time patients come in feeling frustrated, like they’re doing everything right to care for their oral health, yet still face the same recurring issues. I genuinely look forward to those moments when something clicks and they realize their mouth holds important clues about what’s going on in the rest of their body. Seeing that lightbulb go off when I explain there’s an underlying cause—and that they can do something about it, often with simple changes to diet or sleep—is incredibly rewarding. I love helping patients feel seen, heard and empowered with the “why” behind their symptoms.
