Question by suresh on Aug 31, 2024Hindi

Health

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

Health

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.

Health

I am 20 years boy in my teeth there is large cavity in one side and my teeth is very dirty please advise me better tooth paste for cleaning

Ans: Hello
At the age of 20, you're much too young to start losing teeth. I suggest you consult a dentist soon. It may still be possible to save the tooth with "the very large cavity" if you consult a dentist soon.
As for your other "very dirty" teeth, there could be external stains or deposits (called calculus or tartar - the result of inadequate or ineffective brushing) which can be easily removed. At worst, there could be multiple cavities caused by tooth decay which can also be restored with fillings or crowns.
Please note that a proper brushing technique and regular brushing will help keep your teeth healthy regardless of which brand of toothpaste you use.

Question by Sanjiv - Jul 16, 2025Hindi

Money

I m a 44 yrs old . My salary 85k net per month. Rent income 1.20 lakh per month. Fixed deposit 46 lakh PPF 21.35 lakh Lap loan 46.50 lakh OD loan 6.50 lakh. Mutual funds 2.75 lakhs Shares 3.25 laks Property in Noida, jewar, dwarka , Rohini and faridbad. My wife is earning 50k per month but not contributing in assests we spend his salary on vacations and foods and cloths as she don't want to save. According to her it is my responsibility to provide foods and investment. At this age I m going to lose my jobs. I can manage all things with rental but how can I build up financial assets from here on and my triple source like salary, rental and interest helps me a lot in past. I m simple man with basic needs no extra expenses on me. But kids are in college in class 9 how can I build assests and ensure their good education

Ans: Hello Sanjiv, you have a lot of money parked in debt instruments like FD, PPF and not-liquid assets like properties as well. I would advise you to calculate your income from each asset on a yearly basis in % terms. I think that will give you a true picture of what you are earning as of now vs what you can earn in equity mutual funds which are managed by professionals.
We can have a detailed conversation around your situation and I can help you understand what re-shuffling can be done in your asset portfolio (with continuing rental+interest income) with greater capital appreciation, visit my website www.slwealthsolutions.com if you are interested

Im in class 11 and preparing for neet i rigorously studied yet I dont seem to improve like i m unable to touch 600 or above 550 it's seriously a shame when people in my batch are seriously so good..l worked so hard but now i have to study rotation because it wasn't taught to us properly and now we are studying another chapter it's so much work i have no idea how to handle it

Ans: Hi,

First of all, don’t focus on what others are doing or how they are doing it. Each of us is unique. Don’t worry about the marks; don’t get tense. Instead, reflect on the mistakes you’ve made. Just identify and analyze them. You can easily score more than 675 if you put your mind to it. You still have enough time.

Remember to do smart work rather than just hard work.

Relationships Expert, Mind Coach - Answered on Jul 18, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 15, 2025Hindi

Relationship

I'm 34 and have spent the last six years trying to find a genuine partner through every possible route -- dating apps, matrimonial sites recommended by relatives, setups through friends. It's been exhausting and disheartening. The men I match with are either secretly married, emotionally unavailable, or bluntly state that they aren't interested in commitment. On matrimonial sites, I keep coming across entitled MCPs (male chauvinist pigs) who want a docile, obedient wife -- someone to bear their children, manage their homes, and take care of their aging parents like we are living in 1950. The few men I've genuinely connected with emotionally have told me upfront that they don't believe in marriage or aren't looking for anything serious. And here I am, still single. I've been seriously considering signing up for an app purely focused on intimacy. I'm not looking to sleep around without thought. What I crave is connection, touch, and feeling desired, even if it doesn't lead to marriage. I've dated so many men in search of love, and yet, I've ended up alone. Is it wrong to stop chasing 'the one' and instead focus on fulfilling my emotional and physical needs without expecting long-term commitment?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It's obvious to me that you haven't yet sat yourself down and asked:
- What do I want in my life partner?
- What do I want from a marriage?

You have shared about what others want from you; what do you want from a potential association?
Being clear will help you stop this chase and anyway, there's no 'The One'...if you find one, do let me know and I will be happy for you...Marriage is not about finding the right person but by knowing what you want from a marriage. This narrows down your choices to someone that close to your thoughts and value systems and then you both have to make the marriage work.

Now, if you are not looking for a committed association or a long-term one, then you will have to keep playing games with people who are half serious or just looking for some fun and hey, the chances of you being emotionally hurt will be greater here...
So, be clear on what you want and then you will know the next step, the next conversation that you wish to have with a person with more certainty that increases your chances at a good sturdy relationship.

All the best!

Relationship

Dear guru. I recently watched the film Aap Jaisa Koi and I could relate so much with Kusum bhabhi's character. My condition is somewhat similar. I've been married for six years now. On the outside, everything looks perfect -- a good husband, a 3bhk two storied home in Lucknow, a stable life. But inside, I feel invisible. My husband is a good man, no doubt, but he barely notices me as a person anymore. Conversations revolve around chores, family obligations, and money. There's no affection, no curiosity about how I feel or what I want from life. Sometimes I wonder if he even sees me as a woman, or just as a role I'm expected to keep performing without complaint. Watching the film made me realise how quietly unhappy I've become. I'm not thinking of anything drastic like Kusum, but I do crave connection, validation, and a sense of being wanted, not just needed. I have often felt the urge to text my college crush just to talk or sign up on an app maybe to share my feelings. Is it normal to crave for love and sex outside your marriage? Will it help

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Movies can wake you up, but also don't apply everything from it onto yourself. You will feel like a 'perfect' victim. It's good that you have become aware that you truly want more affection from your husband which is what you call as connection or validation.
Also, when you start to fill the void in your marriage from outside, it's not going to be a very pleasant experience.
Working on your marriage can help; some men unfortunately are raised in homes that don't teach them on how to care for a woman and her feelings. Usually, the male figure at home will dominate in a way that the mother/sister will be submissive or subservient and then the son picks this trait from his father.
So, even if you raise this point of affection, your husband is possibly not going to understand or will simply tell you that you are overthinking. He knows only that much...
Start by being excited about your marriage...
- appreciate him often; it might teach him to do the same with you
- express your wants very clearly without making it sound like a complaint; it may teach him to follow your expectations
- ask for help within your marriage; it may subtly teach him to show up more for you

It's a long journey perhaps, but start somewhere...

All the best!
