My teeth are not so strong at the age of 46, what should I do for these

Ans: Hello
By "not so strong" do you mean that your teeth are more prone to decay (cavities) and chip off easily?
If so, your teeth could be deficient in Calcium. I'm assuming you have always maintained good oral hygiene. Unfortunately calcium supplements taken after childhood do not help as tooth formation is already complete by then.
You might benefit from using certain special toothpastes which claim to remineralise teeth. But, in general, it means you need to take extra care with your rinsing/brushing/flossing to keep your teeth healthy.
If by "not so strong" you mean your teeth are shaking or you cannot confidently bite something hard, the fault lies not in your teeth but with your gums and supporting structures. Weak or infected gums can be easily treated. Please visit your dentist so that the problem can be diagnosed and appropriately treated

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.

Question by Mehul - Oct 04, 2023Hindi

Health

Hello Dr. I am writing to seek your professional guidance regarding my oral health, as I have been facing persistent issues with my teeth, particularly my molars. These problems have arisen due to unhealthy childhood habits, and I am eager to find a permanent solution to address them. To provide you with some background, I have previously undergone root canal treatment (RCT) for six of my molars, 02 removed, approximately 12 years ago. However, it seems that my dental issues have persisted, and I am concerned about their long-term impact on my oral health. Given my current age of 38, I am motivated to take proactive steps to ensure the best possible care for my teeth. I kindly request your professional advice on the following: Is there a permanent solution available to address the ongoing issues with my molars? What preventive measures can I take to maintain the health of my remaining teeth? Are there any specific dental treatments or procedures that you recommend in my case? How often should I schedule dental check-ups to monitor and manage my oral health effectively? I understand the importance of seeking expert guidance, and I trust your expertise to provide me with the best possible recommendations to improve and maintain my oral health. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Ans: First of all, it's important to realise that no solution or treatment can be guaranteed to last a lifetime. At best you can hope for and seek long-term solutions. Even so, your oral health and hygiene will have to be reviewed periodically and corrective action taken as and when necessary.
To prevent further decay and to preserve your restored teeth in good health you need to brush/floss well at least twice a day. Preferably after every meal. And you need to see your dentist every 6 months.
Please consult your dentist who can evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums and then suggest the best possible treatment for you

I want to purchase auto insurance for my Maruti Ertiga which I purchased two years ago. Which auto insurance policy will best look after my interests in the event of an accident which could lead to fatalities or lead me permanently disabled? I want to choose an auto insurance policy that will take care of hospitalisation as well as permanent disability.

Ans: In the unfortunate event of an accident with your Maruti Ertiga, a comprehensive car insurance policy will best serve your interests. Here's why:

Comprehensive Coverage:

• Third-party Liability: This is mandatory by law and covers any injuries or property damage caused to a third party due to an accident involving your car.
• Own Damage Cover: This protects your Maruti Ertiga from damages caused by accidents, theft, fire, natural calamities, etc.

Additional Coverage for Permanent Disability and Hospitalisation:

• Personal Accident (PA) Cover for Owner-Driver and Passengers: This add-on provides a lump sum payout in case of death or permanent disability due to an accident. You can extend this cover to include your passengers as well.
• Medical Expenses Cover: This add-on reimburses hospitalisation expenses incurred due to injuries sustained in an accident.

Here's what to consider when choosing an insurance provider:

• Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR): Look for insurers with a high CSR, which indicates a good record of settling claims promptly.
• Network Garages: Opt for an insurer with a wide network of cashless garages for repairs to ensure a hassle-free experience.
• Customer Service: Choose a company known for providing prompt and helpful customer service.

Popular Car Insurance Providers in India:

• Acko General Insurance
• HDFC Ergo
• The Oriental Insurance Company
• National Insurance Company
• Bajaj Allianz General Insurance

Researching and Comparing Policies

• Use online insurance aggregator websites to compare quotes from different providers. These websites allow you to input details about your Maruti Ertiga, your driving history, and desired coverage options. They will then provide you with quotes from various insurers, allowing you to compare prices and features.

Consulting a Financial Advisor

• Consider consulting a financial advisor who can help you assess your specific needs and recommend the most suitable car insurance policy for your Maruti Ertiga.

Health

If we have high blood sugar. Then is it not good to avoid meal and go for fasting . To normalise sugar level. Because anti diabetic drug makes pancreas to release more insulin. Whereas body does not need so high sugar. So is it not better to first skip meal so that sugar becomes normal on its own. Because insulin release by drug stimulation is useless because thee is no requirement of excess sugar by the body. But doctors simply prescribe drug . They do not say that one must try to normalise sugar by reducing food intake. Pl. Clarify ?

Ans: Yes dietary and lifestyle management along with proper medication is very important!!

Incase of fasting, you need to do it under proper medical guidance!

I am having hunch back (forward shoulder) from last 5-6 years and my poster is very bad. I am not having any pain or something but i am worried about my posture and also this is impacting my confidence. Can you help

Ans: Thank you for your questions. I agree with your concerns about posture and its impact on confidence. I recommend consulting a physiotherapist to assess your condition and determine the underlying reasons for forward shoulder posture. Activities that involve prolonged periods of looking down, such as using smartphones or laptops and sitting for extended periods, can contribute to this issue. Stretching and strengthening exercises like Scapular Squeezes, T stretches, shoulder bracing, and shoulder retractions are generally beneficial. Improving ergonomics can also help prevent further deterioration. I wish you a speedy recovery.
