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.

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.

What you describe sounds like stress, anxiety, or depression symptoms, especially with constant crying, headaches, and lack of motivation. Starting with small goals, regular exercise, and limiting social media can help break the loop, but professional help is important. Please consult a Psychiatrist or Psychologist for counseling and, if needed, medication support so you can recover fully.

I am working as a Medical Officer in a government hospital, which means my days can go from calm to chaotic in less than five minutes. Government setups are… different. You don’t always get every resource you wish for, but you learn to work with what’s there, to make fast decisions, and to keep patient care moving even when the waiting area is full and the clock is running. On any given day, I might be treating a child with a high fever, managing an elderly patient with multiple chronic conditions, or handling emergencies like road traffic accidents or acute chest pain. The variety keeps me on my toes — and honestly, sometimes I’m thinking about three different cases at once while trying to remember if I even had my tea. Public healthcare means seeing people from all backgrounds, some who can explain their symptoms in detail and others who struggle to even name what’s wrong. That’s where listening and asking the right questions matter more than anything. You learn to read faces, tones, pauses… sometimes the smallest clue changes the whole diagnosis. I believe in evidence-based practice, but I also know that real-world care needs flexibility. A patient may not be able to afford every test or follow every instruction to the letter, so I try to make plans that are practical for them. It’s not just about treating a disease, it’s about helping a person get better in their own reality. My role often includes coordinating with nurses, lab staff, and other specialists to make sure care doesn’t stall. In emergencies, there’s no time for long discussions — you move fast, stabilize, and then explain later. That urgency has taught me a lot about staying calm under pressure… well, calm enough. Some days are exhausting, some are rewarding, most are both. But at the end of the shift, if I’ve made even a small difference for someone who walked in worried and left feeling a little more secure, then I think it’s worth it. And yes, my handwriting on prescriptions might not win awards, but the treatment is solid.

Since you’re very young and having headache in this age is very common due to stress. First you have to identify your stress and then try to reduce it Also don’t stay alone, try to communicate with others. More you get exposure to people , more you communicate, your stress will reduce Don’t spend much time over phone.

Also consult a general physician near to your home , as you need complete evaluation of your stree level, your working background, eye sight, blood pressure.

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.

What you’re experiencing could be a sign of depression, which is a serious mental health condition that can impact your motivation, energy levels, and overall ability to function. It’s essential to approach this situation with both immediate practical steps and longer-term solutions. First, consider scheduling an appointment with a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, who can provide a formal diagnosis and recommend therapies or medications that might help. In the meantime, try to establish a routine to bring some structure to your day. Start with small, manageable tasks, like setting a regular wake-up time each day, even on weekends, to help reset your body’s clock and ensure a sense of regularity. Limit your exposure to social media if possible; try to allocate specific times of the day for its use to prevent endless scrolling, which might be contributing to the cycle of negative feelings and procrastination. It might also be helpful to introduce some physical activity into your day—even a short walk outside can elevate mood and increase energy levels. Hydration and nutrition can also play a role; ensure you’re eating balanced meals and drinking enough water throughout the day. Watch for ‘red flag’ symptoms like persistent suicidal thoughts or feelings, which would require immediate attention from a healthcare professional. If these feelings intensify or you feel overwhelmed, it’s essential to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare provider. Remember, addressing mental health often requires a combination of medical input and personal lifestyle adjustments, and it’s possible to feel better with the right support and strategies in place.
