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.

At your age, ED is very often reversible. Most likely causes in your case = past medication effects, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and excessive masturbation. With correction of vitamin levels, good lifestyle, and stress management, sexual desire and performance usually return to normal.

Dr. Alan Reji
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.

Low vitamin D, calcium, and B12, along with past antidepressant and steroid use, can contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED), low libido, weakness, and mood changes. Excessive masturbation may have added to temporary sensitivity, but your main issue seems to be a combination of hormonal/nutritional imbalance and medicine side effects. Please consult a Urologist or Endocrinologist for hormone tests (testosterone, prolactin, thyroid) and proper treatment, while also continuing a nutrient-rich diet and supplements to restore energy.

Experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED) and low sexual desire can be distressing, especially when considering multiple factors such as vitamin deficiencies, past medication use, and lifestyle habits. Low vitamin D, calcium, and B12 levels can affect overall health, but they’re not directly known to cause ED. However, they can contribute to fatigue and low energy, which might indirectly affect libido. Antidepressants, especially certain SSRIs, are known to potentially contribute to ED and reduced sexual desire as a side effect. Steroids could also have a similar impact depending on the type and duration of use.

It’s encouraging to hear you’ve reduced excessive masturbation, as excessive habits may sometimes lead to temporary ED or affect sexual satisfaction, though this isn’t the primary cause. To address your symptoms, consider these steps: First, follow up with your healthcare provider to revisit your medication regimen. They may explore alternative antidepressants with fewer sexual side effects or adjust dosages. Assess your current vitamin and calcium levels; maintaining adequate nutrition can support overall health and influence energy levels. Also, consider lifestyle modifications like regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep, all of which support sexual health. Avoiding alcohol and nicotine can also be beneficial.

If mental health stressors are contributing, a mental health professional might help address any underlying psychological issues impacting sexual function. If immediate solutions are not effective, consult with a specialist like a urologist to explore underlying issues specific to sexual function. Do not delay seeking advice if these symptoms are worsening, as early intervention can be key in managing ED effectively.
