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.

Quetiapine is NOT a first-line medicine for sleep. It is an antipsychotic medication and should NOT be taken without a doctor’s prescription, especially at your age.

Quetiapina es un medicamento que se utiliza principalmente para tratar condiciones psiquiátricas como la esquizofrenia y el trastorno bipolar, y algunas veces para tratar la depresión mayor, pero no es un medicamento específicamente diseñado para tratar problemas de sueño. Aunque en ciertos casos se prescribe fuera de etiqueta para el insomnio debido a sus propiedades sedantes, no es el uso más seguro ni el más adecuado. Es crucial que antes de considerar la quetiapina para problemas de sueño, consulte con un médico que pueda evaluar adecuadamente su situación específica. Puede haber otras alternativas más seguras y correctamente indicadas para su problema de sueño, como cambios en la higiene del sueño, terapias conductuales o incluso algunos medicamentos que están específicamente formulados para el insomnio. Además, la quetiapina puede tener efectos secundarios significativos, como aumento de peso, somnolencia excesiva durante el día, síndrome metabólico, entre otros, que deben ser cuidadosamente valorados por un profesional. Si decide continuar explorando esta opción, asegúrese de hacerlo bajo supervisión médica con una dosis adecuada para su condición y necesidades. Nunca tome decisiones sobre medicamentos psiquiátricos sin un adecuado diagnóstico y consejo médico. Si sufre de insomnio crónico, podría ser útil consultar con un especialista en sueño para determinar la causa subyacente y las mejores opciones de tratamiento.

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,

Quetiapine should not be used on your own for sleep. It is a prescription antipsychotic, not a sleep medicine. Some doctors may prescribe low doses (12.5–25 mg at night) for sleep, but only under medical supervision.

Even at low doses, it can cause side effects like daytime drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, and metabolic changes.

Melatonin + good sleep habits are usually safest

Please consult a physician or a sleep specialist in person to discuss more

Thank you
