article: After mixing up a batch of perfect purple, gradually add more red to create a lighter, warmer shade of purple. Be careful to mix together the paint completely so there aren't any patches of pure red or pure blue leftover. Try adding a small amount of white paint to this mix if you want to soften your purple even more. If you don't have the true blue and true red that are needed to make a basic shade of purple at home, you can use pre-mixed purple and white paint to make an array of purple shades. Put some purple paint on your palette, and gradually add in small amounts of white paint to get lighter shades. Don't be afraid to play around with your other paints, too! Although yellow will turn purple paint brown, you may have some other colors you'd like to try mixing in. It won't hurt anything, and you'll learn something in the process.

Apply your chosen adhesive to the crown and carefully set it in place on your tooth. Tap your teeth together. Floss carefully to remove any excess cement between the teeth."
article: Carefully pick any old cement, food, or other material off of the crown if you can, using a toothbrush, a toothpick, or dental floss, and rinse the crown with water. If you clean the crown and tooth over a sink, make sure to plug it first so that you don't accidentally drop it down the drain. Using a toothbrush and floss, gently clean the tooth that has lost its crown. The tooth will likely be sensitive, which is normal. Using sterile gauze, gently dry the crown and tooth area. Testing the crown with a dry fit will help you make sure that you can put it back in place. Set the crown in place and bite down very gently. The crown should not feel like it is sitting higher than your other teeth. If it does, it may need to be cleaned further. If the crown does not seem to fit right one way, turn it and try another way. It is designed to fit securely, so it may take some time to get it properly in place. If you cannot fit the crown in place without cement, do not try to fit it in with cement. If you are successfully able to set the crown in place in a dry fit, then you can try to adhere it to the underlying tooth. Dental cements are designed for the job and will secure the crown best, though other materials will work in a pinch. Choose an adhesive based on what is available to you. Use dental cement. You can probably find this at a pharmacy. This is different than denture cream; the container of dental cement should be labeled as a fix for a crown or cap that has fallen off. Some cements have to be mixed, while others are pre-mixed. Follow directions carefully. You can also use temporary dental filling material. This is also widely available at pharmacies. Denture adhesive will also work. If you can't get denture cement, a loose slurry of flour and water can be used instead. Mix a small amount of flour and water together to make a smooth, loose paste. Do not use superglue or household adhesives to hold the crown in place. While many people are tempted to do this, it can irritate your tissue and tooth. Doing this is worse than going without a crown for a little while. Just a small dab of adhesive spread on the interior surface of the crown should be sufficient. A mirror can be useful to help you see where to place the crown, especially if the tooth is hard to reach. You can also ask someone else for assistance. Gently bite down to test the position and fit of the crown, and to get it exactly into place. Before fitting the crown, dry the area with gauze or a towel to clean any saliva in that area. You want the area to be totally dry. Depending on the directions provided with the particular cement you are using, you may need to clamp down on the crown for a few minutes, then carefully remove any excess cement from around the tooth or gum. Don't pull up on the floss to get it outinstead, slide it between the teeth while biting down gently. This will stop you from accidentally removing the crown again.

If ants are in your home, they're getting in somewhere. Since they're so small, even a tiny crack can let them in. Inspect your home for cracks and crevices, making repairs where necessary. Apply a layer of caulk around windows. Fix torn window screens. Use plaster to repair holes in walls. Replace damaged door sweeps. This keeps the ants out of your food and deters ants from entering your kitchen. Without a food source, there's no reason for them to come! You can get airtight containers at your local department store, homegoods store, or online. after each meal. Ants usually only enter your home if there's a food source there. Unfortunately, even a small amount of food can draw ants. You need to keep all traces of food cleaned up to keep the ants away. Don't allow dirty dishes to sit in the sink. Wash them daily or after every meal, for best results. Spray down and wipe counters using soapy water, an all-purpose cleaner, or a solution of 1 part apple cider vinegar and 1 part water. Sweep and mop the kitchen daily to remove crumbs that could attract ants. If your family eats in other areas of your home, you should sweep or vacuum those areas daily. Place your food bowls in a slightly larger container. Then, add water to the larger bowl so that the food bowl is surrounded by water. This creates a "moat" that is hard for ants to cross. Refill the larger bowl regularly to maintain the moat. You don't need to refill the bowl until the water appears low. The scents of these substances repel ants. Additionally, coffee grounds are acidic and can burn the ants if they attempt to cross it. You can also use cinnamon or peppermint essential oil. Simply mix a few drops of the oil into a spray bottle full of water, then spray it around doors and windows. Colonies regularly send out lone ants to check for food sources. If you see an individual ant strolling across your coffee table, don't let it make it back to the nest alive! It will provide a trail for the rest of the colony, who will soon make the journey into your home. Killing this single ant can save you a lot of headaches down the road by preventing an infestation.
