dear sir, my son age running 14 year, and his teeth is not clean and now whitening, i want to make his teeth white, what should i do, should i go to dentist for cleaning his teeth, and further when the permanent teeth will come until which age? , plz suggest

Ans: Hello Suresh
To answer your second question first, milk teeth (also called Deciduous teeth) are usually shed by the age of 12-13 yrs. So in all likelihood all the teeth currently visible in your son's mouth are permanent teeth. Please note his wisdom teeth (or third molars) will erupt at a later stage. Typically, between 18 and 25.
Please consult your dentist to find out why your son's teeth are discoloured and whether they need cleaning or whitening

My son is 7 yeard old. His front tooth (Upper right first) has fallen for the second time since a year ago. What are the options for its permanent solution.

Ans: Milk or Deciduous teeth fall once and are replaced by permanent teeth which are expected to last a lifetime. Permanent teeth do not fall except in case of severe trauma or years of neglect. Kindly consult your dentist to ascertain which teeth have fallen and to know what treatment, if any, is needed.

Dear Dr. Shyam Jamalabad, I have a yellowish teeth. I don't smoke, I don't chew tobacco. Right from the school to today I am 53 yrs old. I want to finally get rid of this yellowish Ness. Please help.

Ans: Hello
Your dentist, after a clinical examination, will tell you why your teeth are discolored. It's possible that there are accumulated stains and/or tartar. If that's the case, a simple procedure called Scaling and polishing (cleaning) will restore your teeth to whiteness. If your teeth have always been yellowish - if they're naturally yellowish - they cannot be whitened by cleaning alone. You may need to get your teeth bleached.
Please go by your dentist's advice.

Hi Doctor, Maya, my little one is about to turn one year old next month. He has 4 baby teeth, one of which is slightly crooked. I want to take him for a dentist visit. Could you clarify when is the best time for me to bring my child to the dentist for the first visit? Is it really necessary to do it so early, and what can I expect during that first appointment? Also, are there any specific things I should be looking out for in my child’s oral health as they start getting their teeth? Thank you in advance

Ans: According to the Indian Dental Association (IDA), it's recommended to bring your child for their first dental visit within six months of the eruption of their first tooth or by their first birthday.

Early dental visits can help:

1. Get your child accustomed to the dentist's chair and instruments. To be brought to a dental clinic for the first time when the child is already in pain can be very intimidating.
2. Identify any oral health issues early on, such as tooth decay or gum problems.
3. Provide guidance on proper oral hygiene and diet.
4. Establish a lifelong habit of regular dental check-ups.

Some signs that your child may need to visit the dentist earlier than the recommended six months to one year include:

- Visible signs of tooth decay
- White or brown spots on the teeth
- Gum inflammation or bleeding
- Difficulty feeding or swallowing

Consult with a pediatric dentist (also called pedodontists) for personalized advice.

Hello I am a 4th year mbbs student in Tbilisi Georgia, I am an Indian citizen and I wish to persue pg programs in Dubai, what are the necessary things I need to keep in mind what exams should I start to prepare for, as of now I will be preparing for NEXT as FMGE (Indian exam)will be replaced via NEXT.

Ans: Hi Chitanya,
Why do you prefer pursuing postgraduate medicine in Dubai?
What advantages does it have over other countries?
Regardless, you will still need to prepare for language requirements and eligibility exams.
Instead, you could consider other countries like the UK or Australia, which offer numerous benefits such as a diverse patient population and advanced technology.
Postgraduate education is a crucial step in your career, and the number of institutions in Dubai is relatively limited, which could impact the level of expertise available.
I’ve not heard that Dubai is suitable for medical tourism, but I'm not entirely convinced. If that’s the case, it might be beneficial.
However, I would suggest considering India or, if not, opting for other countries for your postgraduate studies.
BEST WISHES.

is EEE in IIIT Gwalior a good choice from perspective of future prospects?

Ans: Hello Lalit
EEE (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) at IIIT Gwalior (ABV-IIITM) can be a decent choice. But if you're strictly interested in core electrical engineering, other colleges (like NITs) might be a better option because not many EEE-core companies visit the campus in comparison to CS/IT branches. Finally, if your interest is strictly in core EEE, IIIT Gwalior might not offer as many labs or core recruiters as older NITs or IITs with stronger electrical departments.

Suggest me for getting any specific nit with suitable branch except civil engineering with ews rank of 25396 and crl rank of 175000??

Ans: Hello dear.
With your EWS rank of 25,396 and CRL rank of 175,000, there are fewer chances to get admission to NITs in any branch under the mentioned category with the mentioned CRL. But you can try under the state quota at some NITs. Participate in the state-level counseling for more promising branches. To avoid Civil, you may try for Metallurgical, Materials Engineering or Production Engineering. You can consider good private colleges accepting JEE Main scores.

Question by Chandran - May 05, 2025

Money

Sir, NRI daughter had LTCG income in FY23-24 and IT returns was filed in ITR-2 as per rules. In FY24-25 there is no taxable income and there is no LTCG also. In such a case, filing may not be required but she would like to file just to recover the small but atrocious deductions made in the SB account.. My query is which ITR form is to be used in this case? In case if ITR-2 is not required, is there anything wrong in using ITR-2 itself?

Ans: In case she is earning interest from saving account only, ITR 1 is applicable and it is advisable not to use ITR 2. Further, ITR 1 can not be filed in following cases like if person own assets (including financial interest in any entity) located outside India; has signing authority in any account located outside India; has income from any source outside India; want to claim deduction from saving interest, is a director in any company; has held any unlisted equity share at any time during the previous year; has agricultural income, exceeding five thousand rupees etc

Refer to Rule 12 for the applicability of form :
