• Professional LinkedIn Profile Available.
• Dr. Preetha Anand’s professional profiles feature Maxillofacial Surgery education, surgical awareness, professional updates, and informative clinical content.
• Extending her community outreach, she was recently invited as a guest speaker on FM Rainbow 103 Kovai (Akashvani) to raise awareness on essential oral and maxillofacial health topics. Dr. Preetha Anand addressed breaking the social stigma around cleft lip and palate through early intervention, the critical importance of early diagnosis for small, asymptomatic oral cysts, and lifestyle modifications alongside treatments for TMJ and jaw pain.
  She also highlighted how orthognathic surgery goes beyond aesthetics to correct Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), breathing problems, bite alignment, and facial asymmetry. To advocate for trauma prevention, she emphasized helmet safety and road traffic rules, while explaining how Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) together with minimally invasive intraoral and transconjunctival approaches help prevent or minimize visible facial scars post-surgery.
