Question by Mahesh on Jan 18, 2025Hindi

Health

My mother age is 45+. her teeth are shaking and root of teeth are visible. One of dentist suggested to remove the old teeth and replace it. But my mother doesn’t want to replace. Is there any other treatment for cure. Because of this she is unable to eat properly and it affected her health. Please tell what to do

Ans: Hello
The condition you describe is rather common and usually linked to poor oral hygiene. Mobility of teeth and exposure of the roots is caused by abnormal recession of gums and simultaneous bone loss.
Please consult a Periodontist (a dentist who has specialised in treatment of diseases of the gums and jawbone). Provided the condition is not severe, it may be possible to save her teeth with periodontal surgery which may involve placement of bone grafting material or bone substitutes.

Question by Jayanth - Feb 17, 2023Hindi

Health

Sir, My Name is Jayanth Ten days before my lower left side from half of last second grinding teeth suddenly broke and fell, I did before or after have severe pain but last week I had mild sensation and while laying down for sleep a little more sensation and slight pain for two three days and so I got appointment from near by Dentist and after checking Doctor told that seeing X Ray is roots nerves are started damaging so as soon as possible Root canal if done means we can save teeth or if delayed means than only option will be to remove teeth. Any other option is there

Ans: Hello Jayanth
It appears from your description that part of your tooth has broken exposing the inner pulp (nerves & blood vessels, mainly)
It is possible that the tooth broke because it had already started decaying some time back. In any case, once the pulp is exposed the only way to save the tooth is by Root canal treatment. So your dentist has advised you correctly. There is no other option.

Question by Chandra - Mar 10, 2023Hindi

Health

Sir , I am Chandra Bhanu Panda. I am 53 years old .One of my teeth in the right jaw is shaking. I am feeling pain when eating.I am not giving more pressure on it while taking food. it seems that it may be broken at any time . I do not have any bad habit like chewing tobacco or teeth injury.Please suggest how to fix the issue.

Ans: Hello Chandra
Teeth do break/fracture often at or just below the gum level. When this happens they shake and hurt when you bite on them. But the broken portion may not actually fall out because it could be still attached to the gums.
If this is the case the only solution is to have it extracted and then replaced by a bridge or implant.
The other (more common) reason for teeth shaking or hurting is infection in the tooth itself or in the gums and jawbone surrounding and supporting the tooth. This can usually be reversed with proper treatment.
Your dentist can diagnose the cause and recommend the correct way forward.

My mother has lost her taste of mouth from last 2 months except chilli taste. She is 62 years old, living in India.

Ans: Taste buds become blunt particularly over the tip of the tongue and sides of the tongue
So one really need to pep up the spices to feel their existence.
Particularly those who are sharp in their mind.
So it is good to have chilly but please ask her to go for green chilly and pepper spice than redchillies

I am planning to buy land loan for 10 lakhs. When approached ICICI, they informed minimum amount to be sanctioned is 20 lacs. Can I repay the surplus as part of EMI ? If yes , my monthly emi goes 1,75,000 My total income is 1.5 lacs per month and I can able to pay 1.75 emi by using the surplus and using the salary income Advise if it is wise decision? Interest rate at 8.75

Ans: Hello;

It's not fiscally prudent to borrow more then your requirement.

You may approach some other lender.
Even if rate of interest is slightly higher go for loan only for the required amount.

Also select a longer repayment period so the EMI burden will be lesser.

As and when you get surplus income like bonus do the loan principal repayment as early as possible.

You will also have to invest for retirement and other financial goals as well.

Best wishes;
