Dr. Jamalabadji, our teeth are aligned in our mouth so that the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, in a particular fashion. However, sometimes the teeth get mal aligned and some tend to overlap to a greater degree than usual. Can an overbite be corrected without dental surgery?

Ans: Hello
Most cases of malalignment including overbite can be treated orthodontically (with the help of braces or aligners) if an orthodontist is consulted early enough.
Only in severe cases is dental surgery needed.
Kindly consult a qualified orthodontist for guidance

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

My boyfriend tells about us to his parents his parents rejected our relationship due to intercaste and they also stop talking to him it's been 4 months his mother don't talk to him .He is in navy . And they also started searching girl for him . He want to maintain distance from me he is not happy he is stressed as his own parents are not talking to him And also maintaining distance to me he talks to me me but just because I can't live without him but he changes in behaviour what to do
Ans: Dear Shruti,

I am sorry that you are in this situation. First of all, please try to look at it from your partner's perspective. It isn't easy to confront your parents and it's even harder when they stop communicating altogether. Having said that, I also understand how it is for you. It is not fair, especially in today's day and age, to face discrimination based on caste.

You have two options:
One, you wait patiently, emotionally support your boyfriend, and hope that his parents come to their senses and realize that we are living in 2024, and caste-based discrimination is ridiculous. In this scenario, you do have to let go of your self-respect and have to face many more hardships, that much is guaranteed.

The second option is you hold your head high and move on. Yes, it isn't what you hoped for when you emotionally invested in building this relationship, but unfortunately, these things are still happening. In this scenario, you will be sad for a long time, but you don't have to compromise on your self-respect and you will move on and live to see happier days with someone who respects you and sees you for who you are and not your caste.

Now, the choice is yours.

Best Wishes!

Hi sir, i have total 10k for investment of which I'm currently investing 7000rs in icici prudential nifty 50 index fund for 15-20 years, and ready to put 2000 rs for investment.My goals is to earn a cagr of more than 15 percent with 10 k for 15-20 years with little risk. Also suggest some term insurance without good claim settlement ratio and coverage upto 1cr
Ans: Hello,

Given your investment amount and goals, here are some suggestions:

Investment Strategy:

Additional SIP:
Invest the additional ?2,000 in a diversified equity mutual fund to balance your portfolio.
Choose a fund with a track record of consistent performance and a lower expense ratio.
Goal of 15% CAGR:
While aiming for a CAGR of 15% is ambitious, it's crucial to understand that higher returns generally come with higher risks.
Opt for a combination of equity and debt funds to balance risk and return.
Consider small-cap or mid-cap funds for higher growth potential, but be prepared for increased volatility.
Term Insurance:

Coverage of ?1 Crore:
You can consider term insurance plans from reputable insurers that offer coverage up to ?1 crore.
Compare premium rates, features, and claim settlement ratios before choosing a plan.
Claim Settlement Ratio:
Look for insurers with a high claim settlement ratio, indicating their reliability in settling claims.
Avoid insurers with a history of low claim settlement ratios or negative reviews.
Remember, while aiming for higher returns, it's essential to assess your risk tolerance and invest accordingly. Diversify your investments across asset classes and regularly review your portfolio to ensure it aligns with your financial goals and risk profile.

Consult a Certified Financial Planner for personalized advice tailored to your needs and financial situation.
