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 See hairloss can be attributed to mental stress or fungal infection like dandruff. In your case it is stress induced. Iam suggesting some medications and precautions to be done Please follow them for one month Do meditation Do physical exercises Indulge in hobbies like reading novels Engage in social activities Minoxidil (2% or 5%) for hair gain OTC solution to be given topically

Finasteride on recommendation only by dermatologist Biotin- medications for growth Selenium Sulfide (Selsun Blue) – antifungal shampoo Avoid exposure to pollen or contaminated area Lastly,Use bhringraj or onion oil for head massage

In case of no improvement in 1 month, consult dermatologist in for better clarification Hopefully you recover soon Regards

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.

Hi Vatan,

The good news: early treatment makes a big difference

☺️ What you can do right now

1. Medical Treatments (most effective, but need “doctor’s guidance”) • Minoxidil (5% topical solution/foam) – applied to scalp daily. Helps regrow and strengthen hair. • Finasteride (oral tablet, 1 mg/day) – reduces DHT levels, slows hair loss, promotes regrowth. (Prescription only, discuss side effects with your doctor). • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy – injections at dermatologist clinic; can improve density.

⚠️ These need consistency (at least 3–6 months to see results). Stopping them can reverse progress.

2. Supportive Measures • Diet: Add protein (eggs, paneer, lentils), iron-rich foods (spinach, beetroot), nuts (almonds, walnuts, flax seeds), Vitamin D. • Supplements: Biotin + multivitamin may help if you’re deficient. • Hair care: • Mild shampoo (avoid harsh chemicals). • Oil gently (coconut/argan) 1–2 times a week. • No tight hairstyles, no frequent heat/chemical styling.

3. Lifestyle • Reduce stress (yoga, exercise, meditation – stress raises cortisol, which worsens hair loss). • Sleep 7–8 hours.

I suggest consult a dermatologist in person.

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.

Sudden hair fall from the hairline with thinning is mostly androgenic alopecia (DHT-related), but stress, poor nutrition, thyroid or vitamin deficiencies can worsen it. For early stages, doctors usually suggest topical minoxidil and sometimes finasteride (oral/topical) under supervision, along with diet rich in protein, iron and vitamins. Please consult a dermatologist / trichologist for proper scalp examination, tests, and safe prescription—because self-medication with DHT blockers can have side effects. ✅

Would you like me to also give you a natural + lifestyle plan along with medical options so you can combine both?
