Dr. Bharat Joshi
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.

Your symptoms suggest you might be dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing that burning feeling in the throat and the sensation of food being stuck. The discomfort being worse at night or after meals aligns with GERD, as lying down can exacerbate acid reflex. First, it might be wise to consider some lifestyle changes. Try elevating the head of your bed by 6-8 inches to prevent acid refluxing while you sleep. Avoid eating meals 2-3 hours before lying down or going to bed. It’s also helpful to identify and eliminate foods that trigger reflux; they typically include spicy foods, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, and fatty foods. Eating smaller, more frequent meals rather large ones may help. Over-the-counter medications like antacids or H2 blockers (ranitidine or famotidine) could provide short-term relief. However, it’s essential to ensure this is not masking any other potential issues such as an infection or ulcer. Since these symptoms have persisted for 1.5 months, a visit to the doctor for a more comprehensive evaluation is warranted. They might recommend an endoscopy or pH monitoring if they suspect GERD is the problem or explore other causes for your symptoms. Conditions like lactose intolerance or celiac disease can also cause similar digestive issues, so it’s important to have a professional evaluate your case. If at any point you experience severe chest pain, difficulty swallowing, or unintentional weight loss, seek urgent medical care, as these could be signs of more serious conditions. Meanwhile, keep track of your symptoms, especially what seems to make them worse or better, and communicate those to your healthcare provider for a more tailored approach.
