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 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

10 മാസം പ്രായമുള്ള കുഞ്ഞിന്റെ വായിലും മൂക്കിലും ചെറിയ അളവിൽ facewash കലർന്ന വെള്ളം പോയാൽ സാധാരണയായി ഗുരുതര പ്രശ്നമാകില്ല, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് ഇപ്പോൾ ചെറിയ ഇറിറ്റേഷൻയും ചുമയും മാത്രമാണെങ്കിൽ. കൂടുതലായും ഇത് കുറച്ച് മണിക്കൂറുകൾക്കുള്ളിൽ തന്നെ സ്വാഭാവികമായി മാറും.

ഇപ്പോൾ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത്: • കുഞ്ഞിനെ കുറച്ച് സമയം നേരെ (upright) നിലയിൽ ഇരുത്തുകയോ പിടിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുക • വായും മൂക്കും പുറംഭാഗം ശുദ്ധമായ വെള്ളത്തിൽ അല്പം കഴുകി വൃത്തിയാക്കുക • സാധാരണ പോലെ പാൽ/ഭക്ഷണം കൊടുക്കാം • അടുത്ത 24 മണിക്കൂർ ശ്രദ്ധിച്ച് നോക്കുക

തുടർന്നുള്ള ലക്ഷണങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ ഉടൻ ഡോക്ടറെ കാണുക: • ചുമ കൂടുന്നത് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ തുടർച്ചയായി വരുന്നത് • ശ്വാസം വേഗത്തിൽ എടുക്കുന്നത് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ട് തോന്നുന്നത് • ആവർത്തിച്ച് ഛർദ്ദി • വളരെ ഉറക്കം, അസാധാരണമായ ക്ഷീണം • അധരങ്ങൾ നീലനിറം ആകുന്നത് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വീസിംഗ് (ശബ്ദത്തോടെ ശ്വാസം)

ഇപ്പോൾ കുഞ്ഞ് feeding നന്നായി എടുക്കുന്നുണ്ടോ, ശ്വാസം സാധാരണയാണോ എന്നതാണ് പ്രധാനമായി ശ്രദ്ധിക്കേണ്ടത്

If your 10-month-old has ingested a small amount of diluted face wash, the first step is to assess whether they show any discomfort or signs of irritation. Face wash products commonly contain surfactants and fragrances which can be irritating but are usually not highly toxic in small amounts. Check for symptoms like drooling, vomiting, coughing, or visible distress, irritation around the mouth or on the skin. If any of these are present, or if your baby shows difficulty breathing or swallowing, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention. If they’re acting normally and just ingested a tiny amount, you might start by giving your baby some plain water or milk to help dilute what was swallowed and ease any potential irritation in their mouth or throat. It’s generally sensible to avoid inducing vomiting as that can cause more harm or irritation. While waiting for further advice or assistance, keep the product container handy—medical personnel may want to know exactly what ingredients were involved to assess any risks. For peace of mind, you might consider contacting a poison control center to get specific guidance, as they can provide targeted advice based on the swallowed substance’s ingredients and your baby’s symptoms. Lastly, keep a close eye on your baby for the next few hours for any delayed symptoms even if they initially seem fine. But, remember to err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider if you are uncertain or worried at any point.
