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.

Addressing hair loss can be multifaceted, but it’s great that you’ve taken the first step by considering potential causes and remedies. Hair fall could indeed be a reflection of underlying health issues, nutritional deficits, or even environmental factors. While homemade oils and rosemary water can provide some benefits, they may not address deeper systemic causes. If you suspect nutritional deficiencies, such as low iron or vitamins, a blood test could be insightful. Iron, vitamin D, and B-vitamins like biotin play essential roles in hair health. Before reaching for supplements, it’s worth discussing testing options with a healthcare provider to confirm any deficiencies and tailor appropriate supplementation. Beyond nutrition, ensure you’re managing stress levels, as stress can contribute to hair loss. Consider assessing your diet for a balanced intake of protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats–which support hair health. Switch to a gentle shampoo and avoid overly hot water to minimize damage, as well as minimizing the use of heat-styling tools to prevent breakage. If hair thinning continues despite these steps, consulting a dermatologist or trichologist would be wise to explore other causes such as hormonal changes or genetic factors. They can offer treatments like minoxidil or other therapies suited to your condition. Weather can indeed affect hair health by causing dryness and breakage, especially when transitioning into drier seasons–considering using a humidifier during winter months. If after making these adjustments hair fall persists or worsens, follow up with medical professional to rule out more serious underlying conditions like thyroid issues or androgenetic alopecia.
