Did you know that in India, there is one dentist for every 3,800 people?We have beaten the WHO recommendation! There are dentists everywhere. But strangely, most clinics are empty while millions suffer from tooth pain at home.

In this raw and emotional episode of Pallu Pudungi, Dr. Jerosan rants about the hard truth:

• The Surplus Trap: Why having thousands of dentists means nothing if people still see us as "tooth mechanics" instead of doctors.

• The "Wait till it breaks" Mentality: We service our bikes regularly, but our teeth? We wait until they break. Why?

• The Price of Neglect: My dad never visited a dentist in his life because he had "no pain." But "no pain" doesn't mean "healthy."

• The Doctor's Pain: The struggle of a young dentist investing lakhs in education, only to be asked, "Why 500 rupees for just pulling a tooth?"

1:3800 is not just a ratio. It's an opportunity you are missing. Listen now to bridge the gap!

"Doctor, en kuzhandhaiku innum oru pallu kooda mulaikala... edhukku check-up?" (My baby has no teeth yet, why a check-up?)In this episode of Pallu Pudungi, Dr. Jerosan answers the most confusing question for new parents: When should you really take your child to the dentist?

We break down the infant dental timeline:

• The Golden Rule: It's "First Tooth or First Birthday" – whichever comes first. Waiting until school age is too late!

• Early Warning Signs: From "Natal Teeth" (teeth present at birth) to feeding issues caused by "Tongue Tie," catching these early can save your child from surgery later.

• The Bottle Nightmare: Why giving milk with sugar at night causes "Nursing Bottle Caries" (black teeth), and the simple "wet cloth" trick to prevent it.

• Habit Breaking: Thumb sucking and mouth breathing can permanently change your child's face shape. Early appliances can fix this without braces!

Give your child the gift of a healthy smile for life. Listen now!

"Happy New Year 2026!" 🎉We all make resolutions to hit the gym, lose weight, or save money. But have you ever made a resolution for your teeth?In this special episode of Pallu Pudungi, Dr. Jerosan asks a simple question: If you upgrade your phone and clothes every year, why do you ignore the most important accessory you wear every day—your smile?

We discuss 3 simple dental resolutions for 2026:

• The "Flower Vase" Check: Go to your bathroom right now. If your toothbrush bristles are splayed like a flower vase, throw it away! It’s not cleaning anything.

• The 6-Month Date: Why going on a "Dental Date" twice a year is a smart investment that saves you lakhs in the future (Scaling is cheaper than Implants!).

• The 1-Minute Rule: You can rush in the morning, but give your teeth just 1 minute of care before bed. Don't let the biryani party in your mouth all night!

Whether you are a student, a teacher, or a business owner, your smile is your first impression. Boost your confidence this year with a healthy smile!
