I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am someone who's sorta grown into emergency medicine through a mix of intense training, sharp turns, and long nights that just don’t let up. I did my MBBS from SN Medical College, which gave me the base, but things really picked up during my DNB in Emergency Medicine at RTIICS, Kolkata—those years? hectic. You don't forget the pressure of working through back-to-back codes or handling trauma cases that change within seconds. Later, at AIIMS Delhi, during my senior residency, I got to see how clinical decision-making works in high-stakes, real-time setups. I had to push myself—mentally, technically, even emotionally. AIIMS was hard, but it kinda redefined how I approach chaos... you know, how to be calm when nothing else is. Right now, I’m working as a Consultant & Asst. Professor at Kiran Hospital and Medical College. Which is weirdly satisfying, coz I get to flip between clinical practice and teaching. Like one hour I’m in resus managing a poisoned patient, next I’m guiding a batch of med students through triage protocols. It’s demanding, but it keeps me sharp. I try not to get stuck in patterns—I mean emergency medicine is always shifting. I stay updated with new guidelines, courses, journals—some of it sticks, some doesn’t haha. But that’s how you keep growing. My thing is blending strong protocols with some human stuff—listening better, watching closer, explaining things in a way people can actually get. And yeah, mentoring’s important to me. Watching younger docs or interns go from nervous to confident... feels good. I’m all for building that bridge between practice and teaching, science and instinct. Maybe I don’t always get it right—but I care, a lot. That counts right?

Itching on your legs and hands, even without dry skin, can be caused by several underlying issues. Here's a concise explanation: Possible Causes of Itching (without dry skin): 1. Allergic Reaction – Could be from soaps, detergents, clothing fabric, or food. 2. Heat or Sweat Rash – Especially common in humid weather or after sweating. 3. Urticaria (Hives) – Red, raised, itchy welts that come and go. 4. Nerve-related Itching – Conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, or sciatica can cause intense itching. 5. Insect Bites or Scabies – Especially if the itching is worse at night or spreads. 6. Liver or Kidney Issues – Internal problems can cause generalized itching. 7. Stress or Anxiety – Itching can worsen with psychological stress. What You Can Do: Use a mild, fragrance-free soap and wear loose cotton clothes. Avoid hot showers; use cool or lukewarm water. Apply calamine lotion or an anti-itch cream (like hydrocortisone). Antihistamines like cetirizine (under medical advice) can reduce itching. Visit a dermatologist if the itching persists or worsens — especially if there’s redness, rash, or it disturbs sleep
