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,

At your age, mild variations happen due to hormonal changes, stress, illness, sleep or diet changes.

Since there is no heavy bleeding, severe pain, dizziness, or weakness, it is not serious right now.

When to see a gynaecologist

Bleeding lasts more than 10 days

Becomes very heavy (pad soaked every 1–2 hours or large clots)

Severe pain, fainting, or repeated irregular cycles

Meanwhile; Stay hydrated, eat iron-rich foods, and just monitor your cycle.

A 6-day normal-flow period at 16 is generally normal and not a concern.

I trust this helps Thank you
