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.

your symptoms point towards sleep disturbance, mild hypertension, and possible vitamin deficiency/postural strain. Start with lifestyle corrections, supplements (after tests), and BP monitoring. If sleep and pain do not improve within 3–4 weeks, or BP stays high, see a physician for further evaluation.

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.

Nutrition

Vitamin D: Morning sunlight (15–20 min) + Vitamin D3 supplement (after blood test if possible, but usually 60,000 IU once a week × 8 weeks is given by doctors).

Calcium + Magnesium: Milk, curd, almonds, pumpkin seeds, ragi.

Vitamin B12: Eggs, fish, milk, or supplement if vegetarian.

Balanced diet: Don’t skip meals, eat fruits daily, enough protein (dal, paneer, eggs, chicken, fish).

Sleep hygiene

Fixed sleep & wake time (even on weekends).

Avoid phone/TV at least 1 hr before sleep.

Warm shower before bed helps muscles relax.

Light stretching / yoga for neck and legs in evening.

Lifestyle

20–30 min walking/exercise daily improves circulation, BP, and sleep quality.

Hydration: 2–3 L water daily (low BP worsens if dehydrated).

Limit caffeine, alcohol, and smoking (all disturb sleep).

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Thanks for sharing, Prasad 🌿 I’ll break it down step by step for you:

Why you may feel this way

1.	Intermediate sleep – often linked to stress, irregular sleep timing, or sleep apnea.
2.	Body and joint pains – can come from low vitamin D, low calcium, muscle stiffness, or posture issues.
3.	Neck pain – often due to pillow/bed setup or cervical muscle strain.
4.	High BP (not on medication) – even “little BP” needs monitoring, as untreated high BP can affect sleep and cause morning fatigue.

Things you can do to feel fresh

✅ Before Sleep • Maintain a fixed sleep time (10–11 pm is best). • Avoid mobile/TV at least 1 hour before sleep (blue light delays deep sleep). • Do light stretches for legs, back, and neck. • Warm water bath or gentle massage with coconut/sesame oil for relaxation. • Avoid caffeine, heavy meals, and excess salt before bedtime.

✅ During Sleep • Sleep on a firm mattress (not too soft). • Use a pillow that supports your neck naturally (too high/low causes pain). • Keep room cool, dark, and quiet.

✅ Morning routine • Wake up at the same time daily, even on holidays. • Drink 1–2 glasses of warm water. • Do 10–15 min of walking, yoga, or stretching – this reduces stiffness and improves circulation.

Lifestyle & Health Support • Check vitamin D, calcium, and B12 – deficiencies often cause body pains and poor sleep. • Monitor your BP regularly. If it stays high, you may need medication to protect your heart, brain, and kidneys. • Balanced diet: more vegetables, fruits, nuts, less junk/salt.

👉 Since you already have BP and pain, I strongly suggest you get basic blood tests done: • Vitamin D, Calcium, B12 • Thyroid profile • Fasting sugar • Kidney function (because of BP history)

After taking the test, if vit d is low - you can take 60000 IU once daily for 2 months.

✨ Small consistent changes + checking for deficiencies will help you wake up fresher and reduce tiredness

Let me make you a daily routine plan (morning-to-night)

🌞 Morning (after waking up) 1. Wake up same time daily (6–7 am is ideal). 2. Drink 2 glasses of warm water. 3. Light stretches (10 min) – neck rotations, shoulder rolls, hamstring stretch, ankle circles. 4. Morning walk / yoga (15–20 min) – improves BP, sleep quality, and body pain. 5. Breakfast (healthy & filling) – oats, idli, dosa, or eggs + fruit. Avoid too much salt and oily foods.

🕛 Afternoon • Lunch – more vegetables, dal, whole grains, and curd. • After eating, sit upright for 10 min (don’t lie down immediately). • If tired, take a 10–20 min power nap (not longer).

🌆 Evening 1. Walk or light activity (20–30 min) – helps BP and sleep. 2. Limit tea/coffee after 5 pm. 3. Neck & back stretches if you sit long hours.

🌙 Night (before bed) 1. Dinner at least 2–3 hrs before sleep (light food – soup, roti with sabji, etc.). 2. Switch off mobile/TV 1 hr before bed. 3. Warm shower or gentle oil massage for legs/neck. 4. Bedtime stretches (5 min) – cat-cow pose, child’s pose, legs up the wall. 5. Sleep at 10–11 pm.

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.

Interrupted sleep, body pains, neck pain, and mild BP could be due to stress, poor sleep posture, vitamin deficiencies, or early hypertension. Start by checking blood pressure regularly, improving sleep habits, staying active, and eating a balanced diet with adequate hydration. Please consult a General Physician for BP monitoring, vitamin tests, and neck pain evaluation so they can guide you on lifestyle changes and medications if needed.
