Problem: Article: Simple over-the-counter pain medications may reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain associated with new braces. Try using pain killers and see if you notice an effect. Ibuprofen can help reduce pain and swelling associated with new braces. Take the medication as recommended on the bottle. Avoid alcohol when taking pain medications. If you're on any existing prescription medication, it is important to talk to a pharmacist to make sure over-the-counter meds will not interact poorly with whatever medication you're taking. Ask your orthodontist about special gels and medicines designed to reduce pain. There are many dental products that can ease the transition into new or tightened braces. Several rinses and gels have medications in them that help ease pain. Follow all instructions when taking these medications. Ask your dentist if you have any questions about the medications. Bite wafers are products shaped to fit your teeth. You bite down on these products for a set period of time, which encourages an increase in blood circulation that results in less pain. Chewing gum can also help reduce pain. Barrier products are designed to provide some separation between your braces, teeth, and gums. This can help prevent irritation that causes pain and soreness. Dental wax is one of the most common and easy to use barrier products. Your dentist will give you a container of wax and you simply break off a piece and rub it on the areas that are sore. Make sure you take dental wax off before brushing your teeth as dental wax can get stuck in your toothbrush. There are also barrier products that are somewhat similar to whitening strips, known as comfort strips. You place a strip over your teeth and it forms a protective barrier between your braces, teeth, and gums. Ask your dentist about using comfort strips when you get your braces put in place.
Summary: Take over-the-counter pain medications. Use dental products designed to relieve pain. Try barrier products.

Problem: Article: To personalize your goldfish, think of a name that suits it. Look at how it swims, what it does, and how it looks and think of a name that would fit its character. If you give it a unique name, you may even be able to say the name as a cue when you train it. Some common goldfish names are Bubbles, Comet, and Spot. Even though you may not know the history of your goldfish, doesn't mean that he doesn't have one. Use your imagination and think of their backstory. Come up with a tale about how he was born, who their parents were, and how he ended up in your house. Think about the perilous journey and all the miles your goldfish must have swum. You can write a short story or draw pictures showing your goldfish's journey. Interact with your goldfish by talking to it. It may not understand what you are trying to say, but treating it like a pet will make you appreciate it more. Goldfish are living beings and should be treated with respect just like any other animal. If you have no one to talk to, you can get your troubles off your chest by talking to your goldfish. Even though they may not understand you, your goldfish will appreciate your company. While goldfish can live to be over ten years old, many common household goldfish do not make it that far. Instead of flushing deceased goldfish down the toilet, create a memorial or give it a proper burial in your backyard. Get your family to come out and say a couple of words about the fish so that it will be remembered. Bury passed-away goldfish with their favorite stone or decoration from the fish tank.
Summary: Give your goldfish a name. Create a backstory for your goldfish. Talk to your goldfish. Memorialize old goldfish.

Problem: Article: Dry heat is a process used on oils, petroleum, and powders. Also, any items that are sensitive to moisture use dry heat. Dry heat is used to slowly burn the microorganisms away and is typically done in an oven. There are two types of dry heat, a static-air type and a forced air type. The static air is a much slower process. It takes longer to raise the temperature of the air in the chamber to sterilization levels because it has coils that heat up. The forced air process uses a motor that circulates the air inside the oven. The heats range from 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 150 minutes or longer to 340 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour. Similar to autoclaving, you begin the dry heat method by washing your hands and applying non-sterile gloves. Next, wash instruments to remove any debris or matter that might be left behind. This ensures that the items that get put into the ovens are as clean as possible and will not have non-sterile materials left behind on them. Just like with autoclaving, the medical tools are placed into bags during the sterilization process. Place the cleaned instruments into sterilization pouches. Seal up each pouch so it is airtight. This is important because wet or damaged packages will not be sterilized during the process. You need to make sure the bags have temperature sensitive tape or an indicator strip. If they don't, you should add one. The tape helps you ensure the products are sterilized by reaching the temperature necessary for the sterilization. Once you have all the tools in pouches, you need to load the pouches into the dry heat oven. Do not overload the oven because the tools will not get sterilized correctly. Once the pouches are loaded, start the cycle. The sterilization process will not start until the chamber is at the right temperature. Follow manufacturer's guidelines for loading the ovens. After the cycle is complete, remove the instruments. Check the indicator strips to make sure the items were sterilized. Take the tools and store them in the safe, clean, dry place in order to protect them from dust and dirt.
Summary: Learn the process. Start the process. Load the bags. Sterilize the tools.

Problem: Article: Do you want to raise them for eggs, meat, breeding or just as a simple pet? Quail need a diet depending on their purpose as you'll need to choose a feed that suits them. The four main different types of feeds are: Starter Developer Layer Finisher The finisher feed will help sustain the quail, until they reach the certain age to be killed at. The finisher feed is higher in fiber than other feeds. Start the quail off with a starter mix from shortly after hatching until 6 weeks of age. Transition to a finisher mix after 6 weeks of age. Continue feeding the finisher diet until the time comes to sell or slaughter the quail. This diet is also suitable for quail being kept simply as pets. The developer feed differs from the finisher in that it contains more protein. Start the quail on a starter mix from shortly after hatching until 6 weeks of age. Transition to a developer mix after 6 weeks of age. Continue until 16 weeks of age. Quail being used for breeding and laying eggs need a special feed when the time comes for them to lay eggs. If they are not given the proper feed, their eggs may turn out too weak or fragile. Feed most quail breeds a starter mix from shortly after hatching until 6 weeks of age. Transition to a developer mix after 6 weeks of age. Continue until 20 weeks of age. Finish off with a layer mix at 20 weeks and older. Feed Coturnix (Pharaoh) quail a starter mix from shortly after hatching until 6 weeks of age. Transition to a layer mix after 6 weeks of age. There is no need for a developer mix.
Summary:
Find out what you want to do with the quail. Feed quail a starter and a finisher mix if you plan on using or selling them for meat. Feed quail a starter and a developer mix if you plan on using them for flight or game. Pay special attention to quail that you are raising for breeding and eggs.
