Dr. Bharat Joshi
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.

Hair fall and skin problems like dark spots can be distressing, and there could be multiple factors at play here. Let’s break it down. Hair loss can be due to various reasons including genetic factors, stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or a medical condition like thyroid disorder. If your hair has been thinning over several years, it’s important to consider these aspects. Ensuring a balanced diet with adequate vitamins, especially biotin, zinc, and iron, can help. Foods like lean meats, leafy greens, nuts and seeds can be particularly beneficial. Regular check-ups to keep track of your thyroid and hormone levels might be necessary if you haven’t had them tested yet.

Your skin concerns, especially persistent dark spots, can often be tied to hyperpigmentation from various causes including sun exposure, post-inflammatory changes after acne, or hormonal changes. Using sunscreen daily even when it’s cloudy, can prevent further darkening and help the spots fade over time. For existing spots, treatments with ingredients like vitamin C, retinoids, or alpha hydroxy acids can promote skin turnover and pigmentation correction. Given your history of acne and oily skin, these ingredients may also help in reducing breakouts. However, any product should be chosen carefully, considering your skin type and health needs.

It’s good though to have a consultation with a dermatologist, who can provide tailored treatments such as chemical peels or prescription-strength topical treatments if needed. Additionally, digestive health does play a role in both skin and hair conditions, but you’ll need to assess what specifically may be affecting you—keeping a food diary could reveal any link between certain foods and skin flare-ups.

If your hair fall or skin problems are accompanied by other symptoms like sudden weight changes, severe fatigue, or if they dramatically worsen, it might be time to see a healthcare provider to rule out more serious underlying conditions. Policies and treatments in each country can differ, so your healthcare provider can guide you best for your location.
