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.
A tooth or periapical abscess occurs when the pulp inside the tooth is infected and happens when the toothâs nerve is dead or dying. The abscess appears at the tip of the toothâs root and can spread into the surrounding bone. Left untreated, what can start as a small cavity can progress to major tooth decay.
