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.

Hello dear Thanks for the response. Yes you can use it for 1-2 months. But use it in combination with bhringraj or onion oil for better results. Thanks

Hair loss, especially if it’s been going on for two years, could be quite concerning, but the good news is there are several steps you can take to address it. Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is common and typically related to genetics and hormones. Here are some suggestions you might consider. Firstly, think about trying over-the-counter treatments like minoxidil. Minoxidil is applied topically to the scalp and can help to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It’s important to use these products consistently and as directed for the best results. Secondly, you might want to consult a healthcare provider about finasteride, an oral medication that can also help with this type of hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking the action of certain hormones that contribute to baldness, but you’ll need a prescription for it and should discuss possible side effects and benefits with your doctor. In addition, maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for healthy hair can be beneficial. Nutrients like zinc, iron, and vitamins E and D are particularly important, so ensuring these nutrients are a part of your regular diet can support hair health. Lastly, while not as immediate a strategy, looking into low-level laser therapy devices could be beneficial as they may stimulate hair follicles. If what you’re experiencing starts to accelerate or causes significant distress, make sure to see a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist specializing in hair disorders. They’ll be able to assess your condition accurately and might perform some evaluations to rule out other causes of hair loss like thyroid issues or nutritional deficiencies. As you consider these options, keep in mind that natural hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia is a gradual process and will not typically lead to sudden baldness. Immediate interventions are less critical, but earlier action tends to yield better results, so starting sooner rather than later is ideal.
