Claiming a parent as a dependent may be easier than claiming an older child or other relative, for two reasons: â¢Social Security isn't included in the gross income test. If Social Security is your parent's sole source of income, the income test isn't a problem for you.he qualifying relative must have gross income of less than the amount of the personal exemption. This income test prevents a lot of parents from claiming older adult children as dependents because even a part-time job will render the child ineligible, Durkin says.
Dead Tooth. Treatment for a dead tooth is usually either by performing a root canal, or by extracting the tooth. A dead tooth is one which no longer has a living nerve inside it. While you may think that having a dead tooth isnât a problem, it can actually cause your tooth to become infected, which can lead to various other dental problems.
This is not a new phenomenon, of course. Dental infections and other tooth-related problems were listed as the fifth- or sixth-leading cause of death in London back in the early 1600s. But it certainly happens today, too. The number of people who die from an untreated tooth problem is small, but the details can be harrowing. An oft-cited case is the 2007 death of Deamonte Driver, a 12-year-old Maryland boy who died when bacteria from an abscess infected his brain.
