Oral Medicine
Some of the most common problems related to Oral medicine that we have diagnosed and treated in our clinic have been:
- Ulcers: Most ulcers resolve themselves without medication over a period of 7 to 10 days. However, ulcers that keeps recurring or stay longer than 10 days might have to be diagnosed further. This can be done by taking a proper history, a careful examination, carrying out various tests or maybe carrying out a biopsy. They could have causes such as the outcome of certain medications, skin rashes having manifestations in the mouth, viral, bacterial or fungal infections, as a part of some systemic medical diseases and, rarely, malignancy.
- Autoimmune diseases: Autoimmune diseases are those in which the body’s defense cells start acting against the body’s organs and tissues. Sjogren’s syndrome which could be a primary condition or could be secondary to another autoimmune disorder is one of the most common but rarely diagnosed autoimmune disorders. Since there is lack of saliva and tears in this disorder, it is commonly diagnosed at the dentist’s office.
Patients suffering from various autoimmune diseases such as Psoriasis, Systemic Lupus erythematosus or Scleroderma could also benefit from dental intervention at our centre.
- Severe inflammatory reactions: such as Oral Lichen Planus : lesions can appear as either white, lacy, raised patches of tissue that resemble spiderwebs or tender, swollen patches that are bright red. They can cause pain, burning or other discomfort to the patient
- Temporomandibular disorders: We deal with relieving painful temporomandibular joints at our clinic. However, the surgical aspect of Temporomandibular Joints is dealt by our specialists in other hospitals.

What our patients have said....
Best dentist in my opinion.
Really great. I had a WONDERFUL experience. Good tips to keep the teeth’s shining and cavity free.
Most Ethical Dental Surgeon
“Visited Dr. Sajili Mittal’s clinic a few years ago after having a number of “not good” experiences. Was a bit scared too initilally. But the way my problem was handled at her clinic made me so at ease, comfortable and relaxed.
At Dr. Sajili Mittal’s clinic, everything is explained in detail & giving all the possible options to be decided by the patient himself. Since my first visit, I never felt uncomfortable and always feel free to discuss even the smallest possible issues. Besides being a good dentist, Dr. Sajili Mittal, is a very good human being too. She makes her patients comfortable, understands their issues and accordingly suggests possible and affordable options ( NOT creating fear factor).
Besides, being highly experienced and knowledgeable, Dr. Sajili Mittal is a person of ETHICS and MORALITY which is rare to find these days in our society. My Best Wishes to Dr. Sajili Mittal.”

Very satisfied with Dental treatment
My wife Dr Roma Raj and I just walked into Citylife Dental for a complete dental check-up, soon after from the US. We found the clinic’s hygiene and comfort levels at par with any good clinic in the US. The doctor’s mannerisms were so good that we signed up with Citylife for our complete dental treatment plans and since then we have felt very satisfied with the treatment, rates, punctuality and professional approach of their team to our dental problems.
There are no short cuts in this clinic.
May God keep the healing touch of this centre alive for years to come.
Very professional treatment
The team here is both extremely professional and extremely kind and generous. Ashok and Sajili took wonderful care of me both with my gum surgery and my short stay in Delhi. They have gentle warm spirits. Thanks for everything from breakfast with chai to the gum graft itself!
