Dentist in Kolkata get extortion calls
KOLKATA: Having a white collar job no longer protects you from extortionists in Kolkata. In the last month alone, there have been at least nine complaints of small-time goons threatening ordinary professionals – dentists, executives and the like – into paying up regular “protection money”, just as traders and realtors are forced to do. This is masked under the garb of “welfare tax”. In Sonarpur, dentist Prasenjit Biswas and his wife were brutally attacked in front of their nine-year-old daughter, allegedly because he refused to pay a “local development fee” of Rs 60,000 to a Trinamool leader. Biswas suffered fractures in his jaw and nasal bone, apart from cuts and bruises all over his body. Wife Champa landed in hospital with a clot in her brain, haemorrhage in both eyes and a fracture below her left eye. TOINEWS

Metal braces give way- to Alingners
HYDERABAD: Until recently, teens sporting metal braces to ‘correct’ the shape of their teeth was commonplace; but not anymore. Giving those ‘not-so-pretty’ looks a miss, the young lot is now taking to transparent dental aligners – made of plastic and customized to help ‘set’ the teeth – to make that perfect cut. And this despite their fancy price tags. While a regular pair of metal braces come for not more than Rs 20,000 (or less), these new-age aligners are priced at anywhere between Rs 60,000 and Rs 2 lakh. Duration of use: 3 to 48 months!…MORE HERE
