A shaking tooth is a sure sign of its falling in the due course. Milk teeth will fall at early stage. But the adult teeth will begin to fall only in the old age, say after sixty years. A toothache is a terrible one. Really it is unbearable. Unless the tooth is extracted, the person concerned will be subjected to undergo pain and suffering. Normally a Dental Specialist charges Rs.100/- to remove one tooth. Famous doctors will charge more amount of money. Filling up the gap, setting up the teeth in neat alignment, or fixing up the tooth in place of the removed one etc come under dental doctor’s job. Those who could not afford the huge amount towards dental service of private doctors are advised to approach Government doctors. There is a separate section for dental service with sophisticated appliances, being provided in Government hospitals situated at various places of the city. Modern innovation towards dental problems is tremendous. There is some German method by which each tooth is fixed on permanent basis. Each tooth fixation amounts to rupees five thousand. Only the upper middle class people and rich people can think of that costly fixation of tooth. For other lower financial category of people, it is a dream.

Ear is an important organ. There should be no harm done to the eardrum, because it is the membrane situated at the middle ear and which vibrates in response to sound waves, which we call otherwise as ‘hearing’. In the course of time, unaware of us, the dirt accumulates in the ear, giving a peculiar sensation to us, urging thereby to poke the ear with some sharp object. But Alas! Here we do a grave mistake. By ignorance, we harm the eardrum. By such respected action and non-visibility the ENT specialist, result in deafness. Whenever the problem of ear arises we are supposed to visit the doctor who must be ‘EAR, NOSE, THROAT’ specialist. The doctor should clean the ear. The patient may complain that he has some noisy disturbance inside the ear. The doctor cures it. In acute cases, the patient must be developing a tumor inside the ear. The doctor will give pills to remove the tumor. But, in the persistence case of tumor, the doctor is compelled to remove the tumor by surgery. Like a periodical eye check-up, every individual is supposed to visit an ENT specialist as a precautionary method of protecting our organ called ‘ear’. Those who could not afford to see the private doctors then they may go to the Government General Hospitals situated at various places in the city.

One should take only normal quantity of food, that too, timely. Regular food habits ensure good health and stomach-ache becomes out of question.

A continuous pain in the head is called headache. There are so many reasons for the cause of headache. Full stomach or empty stomach pain, over exertion, indigestion, tension or straining over something are likely to cause headache. A layman whenever affected by headache never goes to a doctor.
