Q: A dentist can look at the white spots on your teeth and determine if bleaching may help and whether this procedure is safe based on the current state of your enamel. Your dentist will also be able to seal the enamel with fluoride and other enamel treatments once the whitening process is finished. This will help to strengthen your teeth. Another common way dentists remove white spots from the teeth is by gently scuffing the spots from the teeth with an abrasive material, usually baking soda. This is best for white spots that are small, as too much abrasion on the teeth will wear away a thin layer of enamel. The procedure uses a special device that blows crystal particles directly at the calcium deposit. The abrasive particles gently lift away the calcium deposit. The spot is then fixed with filling to cover the calcium deposit and seal the enamel. Like air abrasion, the goal of chemical microabrasion is to remove the white spot by gently removing the calcium deposit causing the discoloration. This is appropriate for small- to medium-sized white spots only, because applying the abrasive chemicals to larger areas will only damage the tooth further. During the procedure, the dentist applies a special acid that eats away the calcium deposit on the tooth. The acid is only applied directly on top of the discolored spots to avoid extensive enamel damage. Then, the dentist will drill in the spots post-etching to seal the enamel of the teeth and protect it from further damage. During this procedure, the dentist will use a special resin gel to open the pores of the tooth where the white spots are located. After the resin has penetrated and treated all of the levels of the discolored teeth, the dentist will cure the resin with a special light. After about 15 20 minutes, the white spots should blend with the remaining tooth enamel. This procedure also blocks enamel-eating acid from penetrating the tooth and helps preserve the tooth from additional decay and future cracks in the enamel structure. These treatments are similar to homemade remineralization remedies, except that they contain prescription only ingredient levels. These treatments work faster than home remedies by using prescription pastes and gums to reintroduce high levels of minerals to treat the microscopic holes creating the white spots. These products contain high levels of fluoride that help treat the white spots, and they can also help prevent future cavities and spots from forming. Some products options include casein phosphopeptides (CPP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) powders, gums, and pastes.
A: Have your teeth professionally bleached. Ask about air abrasion techniques. Consider chemical microabrasion. Have your spots treated with the Resin Infiltration System. Undergo topical remineralization therapy.

Article: Use a diluted organic fertilizer and add it to the water you give to your garlic plants. Once a month or every 3 weeks is an adequate amount of time in between fertilizing. Read the instructions on the packaging about how to dilute the fertilizer in water. You can find organic liquid fertilizer at garden supply stores, at department stores, and online. How often you need to water your garlic plants will vary based on the temperature of your home, the amount of sunlight they get, and the humidity in the air. Water your garlic plants regularly, but don't oversaturate them. Add enough water until you can see the excess drain through the holes at the bottom of the container. In warm and sunny climates, you may need to water your garlic plants 2-3 times a week to keep them happy. Mice can be attracted to the smell of the garlic plants, and may nibble on the green shoots, or even pull them out of the pot, so keep an eye out for bite marks on your plants. Small insects like aphids and mites can also be attracted to your garlic plants and can potentially kill them, so get rid of pests as soon as you see them. Get rid of mice by trapping them if you find bite marks on your garlic leaves. Make a natural insecticide to get rid of pests on your garlic so they're still safe to consume when you harvest them.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fertilize the garlic every 3 weeks with a liquid fertilizer. Keep the growing medium damp but not soaked. Look for pests on your plants and rodents nibbling on them.

Article: Pick a mirror that's big enough to fit as much of you in the shot as you want. For instance, a small wall mirror works if you just want a selfie of your face, whereas you need a taller mirror if you want a picture of your whole body. Keep in mind that you can crop your selfies, too. If you just want your face in the picture, but you only have a giant wall mirror, crop the rest of your body out of the photo after you take it. If you're taking your selfie in your bedroom or your own house, make sure the space that will be showing in the picture is organized and clean. For example, put away any dirty clothes on the floor, make your bed, and check that anything potentially embarrassing, like your life-sized celebrity crush poster, is hidden. Natural lighting is the most flattering for pictures. To take advantage of this, open the blinds or curtains on windows to allow more light in and try to take your picture during the day when it's sunny outside. If it's nighttime, recreate natural lighting by turning on soft, warm lamps instead of bright overhead lights. Avoid fluorescent or harsh white lights which dull your skin. Make sure that the light isn't directly at your back. Otherwise, you'll just be a silhouette. Adjust the light if possible so that it hits you in the front.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find a mirror that's the right size, like a full-length one for a full body selfie. Clean up the room that's visible in the mirror if possible. Find a spot that has good natural lighting or that is well-lit.
