BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Zeety earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Malaya (UM) in 2011. She spent four years working under the Ministry of Health, with two years in Ipoh, Perak, and two years in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. In 2015, she became a trainee lecturer at UM and later pursued a Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry specializing in Paediatric Dentistry (DClinDent) at Queen Mary University of London, graduating in 2018. As a registered paediatric dental specialist in Malaysia, Dr. Zeety teaches and supervises both undergraduate and postgraduate students. She began her academic career as the coordinator for the undergraduate paediatric dentistry unit and served on the faculty’s Elective Research Committee.

In 2019, Dr. Zeety was appointed as the programme coordinator for the newly introduced Master of Oral Science course at the Dental Faculty, a role she held for four years, actively contributing to the accreditation process of the programme.

Her clinical and research interests primarily focus on the oral health of craniofacial patients, as evidenced by her involvement with the oro-craniofacial research group (OCRES). She is also engaged in research areas such as dental education, oral health education, and dental age estimation.

Dr. Zeety has presented papers at both national and international conferences and was also recognized with a Certificate of Excellence Service in 2022 and an Excellence Service Award in 2023. She is an active member of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry (IAPD) and the Malaysia Association of Paediatric Dentistry (MAPD).
