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 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Sri By going through your history and evaluation of your friend health status I am suggesting you some advice - Here’s what she can do right now- - Rest in a quiet, dark room. - Use a cold compress on her forehead. - Stay hydrated and avoid triggers like loud noise or strong smells.

Rx - Napra D - 500 mg - once a day right now

If the headache is severe, lasts longer than usual, or is accompanied by symptoms like vision changes, weakness, confusion, or vomiting visit neurologist and get following tests done - Investigations - CT scan Blood test Urine test

Thank you

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.

Hello Sri,

Your friend’s one-sided headache is likely a migraine. For short-term relief, she can take an over-the-counter painkiller such as Paracetamol OR Ibuprofen 400mg (if she has no allergies or medical contraindications)

Meanwhile; Please rest in a quiet dark room Stay hydrated Use a cold compress on the painful area Avoid known triggers like bright lights, stress, and missed meals.

Please consult a physician or a neurologist as soon as possible,because these medications will give only short term relief. Need proper evaluation and treatment for your case.

I trust this helps Thank you

For a headache that’s predominately affecting one side of the head, particularly on the left, it’s quite possible that your friend is experiencing a migraine, especially if she’s had similar pain before. Migraines are typically characterized by a pulsating or throbbing pain, and they can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. For immediate relief, over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen can be effective, but they should be taken as directed on the label to avoid overuse, which can lead to rebound headaches. Moreover, acetaminophen is another option, though it usually is less effective than NSAIDs for migraine pain. A triptan medication, such as sumatriptan, is often used for acute migraine treatment, but this typically requires a prescription, so consider telehealth options if she can’t physically visit a healthcare provider. Encouraging hydration, a quiet dark environment, and rest can also be helpful non-pharmacological interventions. She might benefit from tracking her headaches to identify possible triggers—common ones include stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, and lack of sleep—as this can help in avoiding future migraine episodes. Remember, if her symptoms are increasing in frequency or severity, or if she presents new symptoms like neurological deficits, it’s important to seek medical advice as soon as possible. Persistent, severe headaches can sometimes indicate more serious conditions that require prompt treatment.
