About the author

Dr. Shruti Goel is a dental surgeon in practice since 2006 — around 20 years of clinical work — at Advanced Dental Clinic in Faridabad. She writes here about hygiene and prevention: the part of dentistry that happens at home, between appointments, and that decides how much of the rest is ever needed.

She has been in clinical practice since 2006 — around 20 years — at Dr. Shruti Goel Advanced Dental Clinic, Anjuli Nursing Home, Sector 84, Faridabad, Haryana 121007. The practice can be reached on +91 98995 59698, and the contact page takes questions about anything published here.

What she writes about

The 50 articles on this site are confined to hygiene and prevention: daily care, gum health, diet & enamel, children & families, at the clinic. That is the part of dentistry a person does themselves, and it is where the difference between an easy decade and an expensive one is usually made.

What this is not

Reading an article is not the same as being examined. Nothing here can see your mouth, your history or your X-rays, and no general explanation can say what is happening in a particular tooth. If something hurts, bleeds persistently, or has changed, see a dentist rather than an article — the disclaimer sets this out in full.
