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.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

You might be having Adjustment issues due to feeling abandoned by your friend. If the anxiety or panic attacks you are experiencing are severe, kindly consult Psychiatrist for treatment. Whenever you are having panic attacks, you can try grounding techniques or box breathing techniques which you can find in internet. You don’t have to go through this alone and help is available. Regards.

I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Try these things When panic comes:

Grounding technique – Look around and name:

5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing you can taste

Breathing exercise (for panic relief):

Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 counts, Hold for 2 counts, Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 counts. Repeat 5–6 times.

Krishna ji it happens when we have great attachment to someone and distance from them causes sudden anxiety and self doubt This is a phase which will pass I would suggest you to find someone with whom you can talk about or share with me if you don’t know anyone Also try different hobbies to vent out those feelings that will help you

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Sudden emotional neglect from someone you love can trigger severe anxiety and panic attacks, making it hard to cope. It’s important to prioritize your mental health by practicing grounding techniques, seeking support from friends or family, and avoiding self-isolation. Please consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

When it comes to feelings of anxiety and panic attacks triggered by personal relationships, there’s a multi-pronged approach that could help manage these symptoms while you work through the underlying emotional challenges. Firstly, consider practicing relaxation techniques to help manage the acute symptoms of anxiety. Deep breathing exercises, for example, can be particularly effective in helping to reduce the physical symptoms of panic attacks such as shortness of breath. Try inhaling deeply through your nose, holding for a few seconds, and then exhaling slowly through your mouth. Repeat this process until you feel more in control. Next, engaging in regular physical activity can also be beneficial as it releases endorphins, which naturally help to lift mood and reduce anxiety levels. Setting a routine for daily exercise, even if it’s just a brisk walk, might help stabilize your mood. Additionally, it may be helpful to establish routines and set small, manageable goals each day, which can offer a sense of control and predictability in your life when other aspects feel uncertain. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol as they can exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Professional support is crucial here. Consider speaking to a therapist or counselor who can offer guidance tailored to your situation, sometimes talking things out with an objective professional can provide valuable perspectives and coping strategies. If the anxiety and panic attacks feel unmanageable, you should consult a healthcare provider who might suggest cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or discuss whether medication might be appropriate. Remember, while it’s essential to address immediate symptoms, finding ways to navigate the relationship dynamics and addressing the root cause of your emotions is key to a long-term solution.
