Article: Before you can brush your dog's teeth, you'll need to get a specially designed dog toothbrush from your vet or from a trusted pet store. Dog toothbrushes are made using soft materials which are angled to facilitate brushing, making the structure of their teeth easier to get to. PetroDex, Nylabone and Petco likely have quality toothbrushes for your dog. Please do not use a human toothbrush to brush your dog's teeth as it is irritating to his gums. A variety of toothpaste products that are safe for pets are commonly available in pet stores and through veterinary clinics. Pet toothpastes come in flavors that are appealing for dogs, such as poultry and seafood. Avoid using human toothpastes on your dog as they often contain abrasives and high-foaming detergents that should not be swallowed or inhaled by dogs. You can make your pup homemade toothpaste using bouillon or chicken cubes, baking powder and coconut oil. To make the toothpaste: Dissolve the chicken cube in a bowl, add some baking soda, cinnamon and solid coconut oil (not melted). The baking soda and cinnamon will act as an abrasive to remove the plaque and tartar from your dog's teeth while coconut oil helps to combine all of the ingredients together. Spread some on your toothbrush for immediate application and keep the rest in a resealable container. It should keep for around a week. Don't allow your dog to eat this toothpaste however, as it may cause adverse effects. Most dogs aren't big fans of having their teeth brushed at first, but hopefully with practice you can make it a reasonably pleasant experience for both of you. Try to choose a time when your dog has had a decent amount of exercise, so he's tired out and more inclined to sit still for the procedure. You may, at least initially, need to give your dog incentive to make him cooperate with you. Train him to associate teeth brushing with rewards, like a treat or play time. Speak pleasantly and soothingly to your dog as you brush his teeth, as this will help to keep him calm. Don't overdo it on the brushing the first couple of times - only bush for a minute or two and stop if your dog gets agitated. As your dog gets used to having his teeth brushed, you can slowly build up the brushing time and brush more frequently. Oral rinses and gels will help to prevent plaque build-up and bacteria. Chlorhexidine is the most effective anti-plaque antiseptic, as it binds to the oral tissues and tooth surfaces and is gradually released into the oral cavity. Chlorhexidine is safe for pets and rarely causes problems, though it does have a bitter taste if additional ingredients are not added to make the taste more pleasant for dogs. A chlorhexidine rinse is applied by squirting a small amount inside the cheek on each side of the mouth. The gel is applied by smearing it onto the teeth. The dog's tongue and lips will then spread the rinse or gel around the mouth naturally.

Problem: Article: Most officers work all different shifts, and their schedules often change each week or month. It is helpful to be comfortable with alone time, because sadly they will not always be available when you would like them to be. Being understanding and flexible helps accommodate the unconventional schedule of police officers. For example, they may be working while you are sleeping, and they may be required to work on holidays. Police officers work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and during all major holidays. Police officers work such odd hours, so be prepared to spend time together during unusual times of the day. Come up with creative ways to spend time together based on their schedule. This will also show your officer that you understand the nature of their work and still are interested in dating them. For example, if your officer works a night shift, you can meet for breakfast at the end of their shift and before you go into work for the day. Other ideas include going to a matinee movie, celebrating holidays and anniversaries when you have the time, and having a relaxing spa day at home. You should be comfortable with alone time when you date an officer. To do this, take up your own hobbies such as joining a book club, working out regularly, or gardening. In addition, you should have your own network of friends to spend time with when you are lonely or need support. You can establish weekly Taco Tuesday nights with your friends, for example. You can also try hobbies like kickboxing, hiking, or knitting. As part of their job, cops have to deal with things like dangerous people, guns, knives, and bombs. Because of this, you likely will worry about them from time to time. To avoid letting your worries get the best of you, spend time with friends, and family, or work on one of your hobbies. Unfortunately, dwelling on the negative will not do anything to keep your partner safe. Instead, try to be positive and optimistic at all times. If you find yourself worrying, you can call a friend or read a book to distract you. Occupying your thoughts with other activities prevents you from worrying too much because you are busy with other things.
Summary: Be accommodating of inconvenient and odd schedules. Come up with unusual and creative date ideas. Develop your own hobbies and friendships to gain independence. Accept the dangers of their job and distract yourself when you worry.

DID is characterized by the presence of alternate identities, often referred to as alters. These identities are often complex, with their own unique histories and physical and behavioral traits. For example, an adult may have a child alter. You may notice changes in voice and physical movement, in addition to changes of attitude and preferences. As different alters present, the person may report loss of memory or a sense of lost time, as they may not be aware when an alter is present. Moving between alters is referred to as "switching" People with DID may also experience anxiety, depression, self-harm, sleep disturbances, and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Severity of symptoms varies greatly among individuals. People experiencing mental disorders often do not seek or comply with treatment because of stigma associated with being mentally ill. This may be particularly true for people with DID, as it isn't universally accepted as a disorder, despite its inclusion in the DSM-5, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders describing diagnostic criteria for all mental disorders. Avoid contributing to the shame and embarrassment a person with DID may already feel. Acknowledge how difficult it must be to manage the reactions of others. This will show you understand the complexity of living with a mental disorder. Is the individual is a friend or family member, ask about their experiences to show you care. Strangers may feel very uncomfortable with questions about their mental health, so do not pry. Ask how they feel before and after "switching" to get a better understanding of their experience. Express empathy by recognizing how frightening, confusing, and frustrating these experiences must be.
