I am mainly into general dentistry but to be honest the work never really feels “general” yk? Every day’s different. I usually handle OPDs, and I kinda make it a point to spend time with each patient—helping them understand what’s going on with their tooth or gum or whatever it is. I do a lot of diagnosis & treatment planning, and try my best not to overdo or underdo the care. Sometimes all ppl really need is a clear explaination with a bit of patience.
I’ve worked across prosthetic cases—dentures, crowns, bridges—some simple, some quite tricky. I also do routine dental extractions (and occasionaly those weird tilted molars that don’t want to come out easy). I love working with kids too, although you gotta really shift gears when dealing with pediatric patients... like being a dentist & storyteller at once lol.
Endodontic stuff (root canals n all) and periodontal work (deep cleaning, gum stuff etc.) are part of my daily practice too. I try to keep it as painless n smooth as possibl. Apart from that, I always push a bit extra on patient education and motivating them to stick with good oral habits. People often don’t realize the value of consistent hygiene until the problem grows, which sucks honestly.
I feel being clear, calm n kind during counselling works better than rushing through terms and handing over a prescription. At the end, I’m not just treating teeth—I’m trying to make ppl feel a bit more cared for, even if its a 10-min visit. |
Achievements: | I am usually the kind of person who’ll sign up if there's a hands-on session or smth interesting going on, and I’ve been part of quite a few dental workshops & college-level seminars over the yrs. Whether it was learning new cavity prep techniques or listening to live demos on prosthetics, I just liked soaking it all in (even if the timings were terrible lol). Not every event was fancy, but each one kinda shaped how I look at clinical skills and everyday patient care now. |
I am a general dentist and completed my one year of rotatory internship at Chhattisgarh Dental College & Research Institute in Rajnandgaon. That phase honestly taught me more than I’d imagined—rotating through different departments just kinda shows you how much there is to grasp. After that, I started working at a reputed hospital and still continuing there. Not always easy, but yeah, it’s given me a steady hand and clearer eyes when it comes to real-world dental practice. I mostly deal with day-to-day OPDs, and I actually enjoy the rhythm of seeing diff patients with diff needs—it doesn’t get boring ever. Patient education and motivation has become something I naturally do now... sometimes you don’t realize how much fear or confusion folks carry until you talk in just a normal, non-medical tone. I focus a lot on patient counselling, explaining things the way I'd want someone to explain to me if I was on the other side of the chair. As for procedures, I work on treatment planning, prosthetic cases, extractions, pediatric dental care (which tbh, needs a lot more patience than you'd think), endo work, perio treatments, and yeah, just the whole range of basic to moderately complex stuff you see in general dental setups. And every case still feels new in its own way—like no two root canals really ever feel exactly the same, you know? Communication-wise, I try not to overcomplicate. Just keeping it real with patients—what’s wrong, what we can do, and what to expect—usually gets the job done better than all the big words. Also kinda makes people trust you more, when they see you're not rushing or sugarcoating things. At the end of it, I feel like my job isn’t just about fixing teeth—it’s about helping people feel more confident eating, talking, or smiling again. That’s what stuck with me the most, and what I try to show up for every single day.
