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 am a General Practitioner who kind of lives on the frontline of everything, really. From sneezes to serious stuff, I handle a mix of it all—and weirdly, that’s what I love about being a GP. I get to see newborns coming in for their first jabs, and then later that day maybe I'm talking through meds with someone who's managing diabetes or heart disease for years. There’s a lot of variety, which keeps me on my toes—nothing ever feels too routine. Most days, I’m diving into a bit of everything—diagnosing infections, keeping an eye on chronic conditions like asthma or hypertension, helping folks plan their health goals, or sometimes just being a good listener when they need to vent. Preventive care’s a big deal for me. I like to catch things early, before they grow into something more serious. Sometimes all it takes is one small observation or something a patient casually mentions—and that changes everything. What I try to do is treat people, not charts. It's about who they are, what matters to them, and what really works in their life—not just what the textbook says. Every treatment plan I make is adjusted based on the real-world challenges each person’s facing. I also explain stuff in plain language. Like, no jargon for the sake of sounding clever. If someone doesn’t understand their condition, how can they take care of themself properly? Oh, and I do my best to keep learning constantly. Medicine doesn’t pause, right? Whether it’s a new guideline, research update or clinical tool—I keep checking, reading, taking notes (sometimes at midnight, honestly). All of this helps me feel confident that what I’m offering isn’t outdated or guesswork. What keeps me going is the trust people place in me. Being someone’s go-to doctor, knowing they’ll come to me when they’re worried or confused—that’s a big responsibility. But also kinda a gift. I don’t just see symptoms, I see stories—and I get to be part of their health journey from day one to who-knows-when. It's not perfect, and yeah, sometimes I feel I missed something or could’ve said something better. But I’m always trying, always caring, and I’m really here—for all of it.

Irregular periods and changes in menstrual flow or color can be caused by a range of factors. Hormonal imbalances, such as those related to thyroid disorders (like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can affect your menstrual cycle and might explain some of your symptoms. Stress, significant weight changes, or engaging in intense exercise can also lead to irregular periods. The trembling hands and lack of appetite you’re experiencing could further suggest a thyroid issue, since overactive thyroid can cause symptoms like those. Moreover, nutritional deficiencies such as low iron or B vitamins might contribute to these symptoms. It’s important to consider all potential causes. Missing periods or experiencing unusual bleeding patterns can sometimes be a sign of uterine abnormalities, so taking these symptoms seriously is necessary. It’s advisable to set up a meeting with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms more comprehensively and evaluate further with appropriate tests. This can involve blood work to check hormone levels, a pelvic examination or imaging tests to assess for structural concerns, and an assessment of your overall health. If you experience any severe symptoms like dizziness, excessive bleeding, or significant discomfort, it would be prudent to seek medical attention promptly. For now, maintain a balanced diet and drink sufficient fluids as these can sometimes help with general well-being. While home tracking of your symptoms such as any pattern in bleeding or associated symptoms might be beneficial for your healthcare provider, addressing the underlying cause will need professional evaluation. Prioritize a complete assessment sooner rather than later, to set your mind at ease and ensure proper care.
