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.

Clotrimazole or Miconazole – antifungal creams for topical use In addition following preventive measures are must Avoid excess moisture and keep the infected completely dey If possible dry with clean towel Have good exposure of sunlight Apply phenol solution regularly in the house floors Avoid exposure to pollen or contaminated area Lastly,Use bhringraj or onion oil for head massage Apply aquaphor moisturizer twice a day for 1 month Instead of minidoxil,prefer rosemary oil In case of no improvement, consult dermatologist in person 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 Muskan,

First of all, exact cause of hairfall should find out. For that,

Check inside first: Get blood tests: Hemoglobin, Thyroid (TSH), Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Iron studies.

Daily routine: • Use mild shampoo (like Ketoconazole once a week if dandruff, or gentle sulfate-free shampoo otherwise). • Apply coconut/argan/almond oil once or twice a week (avoid overnight if scalp oily). • Don’t comb wet hair, avoid tight hairstyles. • If hair fall is severe (clumps daily), a dermatologist may prescribe minoxidil lotion or supplements.

🔹 For Skin (Dullness, Whiteheads, Dark Circles)

✨ Daily Skin Care Routine: • Cleanser: Gentle face wash twice daily. • Exfoliation: Use a salicylic acid face wash or serum (2%) 2–3 times/week for whiteheads. • Moisturizer: Lightweight gel/cream to maintain glow. • Sunscreen: Very important! Use SPF 30+ every morning (prevents dullness & pigmentation).

✨ For Dark Circles: • Sleep 7–8 hrs. • Cold cucumber/green tea bags over eyes for 10 min. • Use under-eye cream with Vitamin C, niacinamide, or caffeine.

✨ For Bright Skin: • Vitamin C serum in the morning. • Hydrating diet: drink enough water, eat fruits (papaya, pomegranate, orange). • Avoid too much junk, sugar, and fried foods.

Thank you

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.

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.

Severe hair fall with visible scalp, dull skin, whiteheads, and dark circles often point to nutritional deficiencies, stress, or hormonal imbalance. A healthy routine with iron-rich foods, protein, hydration, regular sleep, and sunscreen use helps both skin and hair, but medicines may be needed for lasting results. Please consult a Dermatologist to check for anemia, thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, and get the right treatment for hair regrowth and skin care.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

Hello Muskan, You have multiple symptoms related to your skin and hair.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle by adequate sleep, reducing stress, balanced diet including seasonal fruits. Consult a dermatologist for further treatment as skin and hair problems need specific treatment and therapies.

Experiencing significant hair fall and dull skin may be linked to several underlying factors ranging from nutritional deficiencies to stress or hormonal imbalances. For hair fall, ensure your diet is rich in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin D. Incorporate foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, fish, and eggs into your meals. It might be beneficial to have your blood levels checked for deficiencies or hormonal issues like thyroid problems which can contribute to hair loss. Regular scalp massages can improve circulation and promote hair growth; however, if the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation or treatment options such as topical minoxidil. Moving onto skin concerns, dullness and whiteheads can often result from inadequate exfoliation or hydration. Consider using a gentle exfoliant containing salicylic acid to address whiteheads, and moisturize regularly to maintain skin barrier function. For dark circles, aim for sufficient sleep and consider using products with caffeine or vitamin K which can help reduce their appearance. Sunscreen is also crucial as UV exposure can worsen skin pigmentation and aging. If after these interventions, you see no improvement, a dermatologist can run more specialized tests or suggest treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy. Always be cautious and consult professionals before initiating new treatments or using new skin care products, especially with sensitive skin or allergies.
