If normal flossing hurts, a smooth and sometimes spongy dental tape might not. Dental tape is a special type of floss that's especially thin and wide almost like a small ribbon. Dental tape is used in the same way as normal floss, but people who have painful teeth or gums often find it to be more comfortable. Proxy brushes are small, flexible, pointed brushes that have bristles that look similar to a pine tree. Their unique shape makes them perfect for cleaning behind braces simply insert the brush under the wire and between the teeth, then scrub to clean. Proxy brushes aren't available everywhere, so talk to your dentist or orthodontist if you're interested in getting one. You can also use a bit of toothpaste on the proxy brush for a better cleaning. Proxy brushes aren't intended to be used as a replacement for floss. They can't clean between the teeth as thoroughly as floss can. Instead, they're used along with floss to ensure that the area behind the braces receives enough cleaning. An orthodontic brush is a special type of toothbrush with V-shaped bristles. These special bristles help it clean behind braces and other orthodontic appliances, making them a big help when it comes to keeping your teeth clean. As with proxy brushes, orthodontic brushes are meant to be used with floss not instead of it.

Summary: Use dental tape. Use a proxy brush. Use an orthodontic brush.

Place the slices of kabocha squash evenly apart on a baking sheet. Turn your oven to 400F (204C) to start the preheating process. You can use a metal or glass baking sheet. A preheated oven will ensure an even cook in your squash. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (30ml) of olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil on top of the slices of squash. Coat the slices evenly, making sure to get the oil on both sides. You can smooth the oil on the slices with a pastry brush or your fingers. If you want savory and spicy flavors in your squash, use cayenne pepper. If you want sweeter tasting squash, sprinkle the slices with cinnamon instead. The oil will help the spices stick to the slices of squash. Flip the slices after they have cooked for 15 minutes so that both sides cook evenly. Once the squash is finished cooking, poke it with a fork. The flesh should be soft. Remove the cooking sheet from the oven and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. You can then eat the slices with a fork or with your hands. Wear oven mitts when you remove the squash from the oven. You can store the squash in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Summary: Preheat the oven to 400F (204C). Coat the squash with the oil. Season the slices with cayenne pepper or cinnamon. Roast the squash in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Let the squash cool and serve.

Go to https://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp in Internet Explorer (other browsers won't work), then click Agree and Continue and follow any on-screen prompts. If your computer's Java isn't up to date, you may run into issues while hosting your server. This is necessary to have installed on your computer before running any Java commands: Go to the JDK webpage Check the "Accept License Agreement" box below the "Java SE Development Kit 8u201" heading. Click the jdk-8u201-windows-x64.exe download link to the right of the "Windows x64" heading. Double-click the install file, then follow the on-screen instructions. Go to https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/server in your computer's web browser, then click the minecraft_server.1.13.2.jar link in the middle of the page. Right-click the desktop, select New, click Folder, and type in Minecraft Server before pressing Enter. Click and drag the downloaded JAR file onto the "Minecraft Server" folder, then drop it there. You can also click the server file to select it, press Ctrl+C, open the "Minecraft Server" folder, and press Ctrl+V to paste in the file. Double-click the server Java file inside of the "Minecraft Server" folder to do so. You should see several files and folders appear inside the folder. Once you see the "eula" text file appear in the "Minecraft Server" folder, do the following: Double-click the "eula" file. Replace the "eula=false" line of text with "eula=true" Press Ctrl+S to save your changes. Close the text document. It will resume running in a pop-up window, and more files will be added to the "Minecraft Server" folder. Once you see "Done!" at the bottom of the server's main window, click the text box in the bottom-left side of the server window, then type in stop and press Enter. It's inside the "Minecraft Server" folder. Right-click the "server.properties" file, click Rename, and remove the period from the name, then press Enter. This will change it to a regular file entitled "serverproperties", making it possible to open. Double-click the file, then double-click Notepad in the resulting pop-up menu. Find the "server-ip=" line of text, then type your computer's static IP that you set earlier immediately to the right of the "=" sign. For example, if your computer's static IP address is "192.168.2.30", you would have server-ip=192.168.2.30 here. Press Ctrl+S, then exit Notepad. While you can launch your server by double-clicking the server file, doing so runs the server with a limited amount of computer memory. You can fix this problem by creating a launch file inside of the "Minecraft Server" folder: Open Notepad (you may have to click Start {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png\/30px-Windowsstart.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.
<\/p><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain">Public Domain<\/a><br>
<\/p><\/div>"} and type in notepad to find it). Type java -Xmx3G -Xms1G -jar server.jar into Notepad. Click File, then click Save As... in the drop-down menu. Type run.bat into the "File name" text box. Click the "Save as type" drop-down menu, then click All Files. Select the "Minecraft Server" as the save location. Click Save
Summary: Make sure that Java is up to date. Install the Java JDK if you haven't done so. Download the server file. Create a new folder. Move the server file into your "Minecraft Server" folder. Run the server file. Accept the terms of use. Double-click the server file again. Close the server when it's done running. Find the server.properties" file. Rename the file. Open the "serverproperties" file. Add your computer's static IP address to the file. Save the file. Create a launch file.
