You want to make sure that the surgeon you choose is not only qualified to perform the procedure you need, but experienced in it. The more practiced they are in performing the procedure, the better. When you meet with them, be sure to ask questions like: How did you train for this procedure? How many years have you been performing this operation? How many times have you performed it? Good plastic surgeons will want to know a patient's medical history and make sure a procedure is safe for them before they agree to operate. If they do not ask questions like the following, it is a sign that you should look for a different surgeon: Why do you need the surgery? How long has the issue been going on? Can you describe your medical history? This is an important one. When you go to a plastic surgeon, you are entrusting them with the care of your body. This can make you feel anxious. You also have every right to only choose a surgeon you feel comfortable around. Ask yourself: Does the surgeon seem safe? Does the surgeon seem to be caring? Are you ok spending time with them? Do they communicate clearly and respectfully? Do they give you time to ask questions? Do they listen carefully to your concerns?

Try switching to a toothpaste designed to help with sensitive teeth. Toothpaste containing arginine has been shown to be more effective than sensitive toothpastes that use potassium as the active ingredient. Make sure to use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Harder bristles can damage tooth enamel and cause gums to recede, leading to sensitive teeth. Also be careful not to press too hard when you brush - this can also damage gums and enamel. Gels designed to numb tooth pain are sold over the counter and can also be applied in the dentist's office or as a prescription. However, many dentists and the Food and Drug Administration warn against using numbing agents like benzocaine, especially to treat sensitive teeth in small children. If your sensitivity is caused by grinding, you can wear a protecting guard during the night. Your dentist can make a custom-fitted mouth guard for you. They are available over-the-counter as well, but because they are not fitted to your mouth specifically, an OTC guard may cause more harm than good. If you do notice yourself grinding your teeth during the day, position the tip of your tongue between your teeth. At night, hold a warm washcloth against your cheek, near your earlobe. These both relax your jaw. Try massaging your jaw and sticking to soft foods until the pain subsides. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen can help reduce the pain of sensitive teeth. Don't use this as a long-term solution, however, as pain medications have side effects. While numbing agents and special toothpastes may temporarily ease the pain of sensitive teeth, you won't be able to truly resolve tooth pain unless you know the underlying cause whether it's due to dry mouth, grinding your teeth, acid reflux, acidic food and drink, etc. Consult your dentist about your tooth pain so she can help you properly diagnose the issue and choose the best treatment. Tooth sensitivity may be cased by brushing too hard, dental decay, tooth fracture, dry mouth, diet, brushing too hard, acid reflux, gum infection, and more. Your dentist can offer treatments such as a fluoride varnish, a fluoride tray, prescription toothpaste, and/or a mouth guard.

Light can pass through the cracks of your bedroom door if you have the lights on elsewhere. Many devices have lights to indicate that they're plugged in, charging, or powered on. These can emit a surprising amount of light in your room, so unplug them when they're not in use to shut those lights off. As a bonus, unplugging your unused electronics can save you money on your electric bill -- as much as 10% over a year! You can use a power strip to easily cut power to all your electronics in an area at once. Simply plug all the electronics into the strip and flip the switch to "off" when you're ready to rest. Rolling up a blanket or towel and placing it along the bottom edge of your door can help stop light from seeping in through the crack. You can also purchase or make a "draft snake," which is a filled tube that covers the crack below the door. This is probably the easiest way to immediately darken any room. Many sleep masks even come with aromatherapy scents like lavender to help you relax and fall asleep. Wearing a sleep mask in combination with using blackout treatments will help you get the rest you need.

Contact the carrier you want to switch to for a new SIM card. Shut down your phone as you normally would. Depending on which Android model you're using, the SIM card will be in a slot on the side of the case or under the back cover (sometimes under the battery). Insert the SIM card from your new carrier into the slot. Instead of your normal home screen, you'll get a notification that your phone needs to be unlocked before it can use the installed SIM card. Use the keypad to type in the code you got from the Straight Talk representative. Press UNLOCK. You'll see a confirmation message confirming that the code has been accepted. Now you can use your Android phone with your new carrier.
