From a dentist point of view .....

1. Right before getting their teeth cleaned patient asks whether enamel wears off due to cleaning and you have to narrate the tale of hand scalers and ultrasonic scalers
2. The difficult time you have in educating the patient about the difference between sensitivity and pain
3. The challenging time during extractions when you have  to make the patient aware of the difference between pain and pressure
4. It's funny to watch the mixed expression of guilt and regret on a patients face the moment they realize that we just picked up the food they had an hour ago with a probe
5. Height of patience is cutting a crown in an upper seven in a macroglossic patient
6. The satisfaction we achieve when we catch a glimpse of the patient smiling on seeing the face mirror after a composite restoration in a midline diasthema case.
7. A properly seated complete denture in one go with absolute no trimming is heaven
8. After inspecting the stains on his teeth we enquire about smoking habits and to our utter amazement the patient replies that he is not a smoker
9. A cheerful day begins with a cooperative pedo patient
10.We dentist get heart attacks too; it's usually when we drop our airoter on the floor
11. When a Patient comes to the clinic with a dental problem and you end up finding a systemic disorder along with solution to their dental issue.That is it. The patient declares that you are the king of all doctors and you reach cloud nine.
12.Its amusing to hear patients using dental terms that they learned from the internet.

A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala.
