Sajini Sasthri, D.M.D., M.P.H.
Endodontist
Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Japan, I spent my formative years in Tokyo before moving to California for college. I attended UCLA for my Bachelor’s degree in Science and then moved to London for my Master’s degree in Public Health. While I was always drawn to healthcare, dentistry stood out to me as a field that was both exciting and humbling, which brought me to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Upon graduating with honors, I returned to California, completed a general dental residency with the University of the Pacific and worked as a general dentist. During this time, I found endodontics to be the most challenging due to the high degree of technical detail involved and the most gratifying, so I decided to specialize. I completed my specialty residency in endodontics at Tufts University in Boston. Having bounced from city to city all my life, I am thrilled to be back home in California long-term. Outside of the office I love traveling, yoga, eating and spending time with my husband and our two young sons.
