Problem: Article: When your dog is slowing down in movements but is still able to eat, drink, walk, stand on its own, and can still respond to your calls, this is a sign of just plain old age. He's not suffering any particular pain, he's just growing old. Your dog can still do the things he/she enjoys, like walking around, being petted, playing, or socializing with other dogs, though in a more decreased frequency and intensity. As dogs get older, they will likely begin to eat less than they used to. Older dogs generally expend fewer calories and require less food than energetic young dogs. It's nothing to be alarmed about—it's just a normal part of the aging process. An old dog will sleep more and more, but still being able to stand and move around and eat afterward. A dog who sleeps and doesn't move around and eat is very sick; a dog who sleeps a lot and still eats and seems social is aging. As dogs get older, they may show less interest in playing and socializing with other dogs. You might find that your dog gets overwhelmed or irritable in social situations more easily than before. A number of things will sprout up as your dog ages. Look for the following:  Gray or white hairs appearing in the coat, especially on your dog's face. Parts of the body where friction is common getting bald or hairless. You may particularly notice this in the elbows, pelvic area, and butt. Dental problems, such as loosening or staining of the teeth. Some of your dog's teeth may fall out, or you may need to have them extracted by a vet. If your dog is already in this stage of old age, provide comfort by:  Placing you dog in a well ventilated and warm room. Providing comfortable bedding to support your dog's joints and minimize pain. Providing (but not forcing) food and water. Spending time with your dog daily. Even if your dog is not up to playing or going for walks, he or she will probably still enjoy gentle petting and listening to your voice.
Summary: Notice how speedy your pooch is. Observe how much your dog eats. Pay attention to how much your dog sleeps. Watch how they act around other dogs. Notice how your dog looks. Keep your elderly dog comfortable.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are several types of dental fillings and each takes a different amount of time to set. Being aware of the setting time will give you a general time frame for which you should be especially careful not to inflict any damage on the filling.  Gold, amalgam, and composite fillings take about 24-48 hours to set.  Ceramic fillings set immediately with the help of a blue dental light.  Glass ionomers set within 3 hours of filling, but it may take 48 hours for them to feel hard. You can take over the counter pain medication before the anesthetic wears off and continue this treatment until your sensitivity subsides. This will help with any swelling or pain you might experience.  Ask your dentist if you need to take pain medication to manage post-operative sensitivity. Follow the package or your dentist’s instructions for taking pain relievers after a filling.  Sensitivity will generally improve within one week. Your mouth will feel numb for a few hours after a filling because of the anaesthetic administered during the procedure. If you can, avoid eating or drinking until the anesthetic wears off so that you don’t injure yourself.  If you do eat or drink, the numbness may make it difficult to gauge the temperature or you may end up biting the inside of your cheek, tongue or tip.  If you can’t wait to eat or drink, try soft foods like yogurt or applesauce and simple beverages like water. Chew using the opposite side of your mouth than the filling to help ensure that you don’t injure yourself or damage the filling. Your teeth and the filling will likely be sensitive for a few days after the procedure. Avoid consuming food and beverages that are very hot or very cold to control sensitivity and pain, and also that might damage your filling.  Very hot or cold foods and beverages can disrupt the bond of fillings. Composite fillings are generally bonded to the tooth. The bonding process continues for at least 24 hours, so it’s advisable to consume lukewarm foods/beverages during this time. Hot and cold temperatures make the filling material expand and contract, especially if they are metal. This alters the filling adaptability, shape, and strength of the material and may cause fractures or leaking.  Make sure to allow cooling time for hot foods like soup or baked dishes including lasagna as well as heated beverages such as coffee and tea before you consume them. Try to avoid foods that are hard, chewy, or sticky for a few days after a filling. Foods such as candies, granola bars, and raw vegetables can cause potential problems, including pulling out the filling.  Biting hard foods can fracture your filling or your tooth. Sticky foods can adhere filled tooth surfaces for a long time and make them more susceptible to cavities. Food stuck in between the teeth can weaken a filling and puts you at higher risk for more cavities. To avoid this, rinse your mouth out after every snack or meal and use fluoridated mouthwash after brushing and flossing. When you finally eat, make sure to chew on the opposite side of your mouth to the filling for a day or two. This will help ensure that the filling sets properly and doesn’t get damaged. Because the dentist “fills” a tooth, it is possible that he adds too much material to the filling site. Check for a high point in the filling by gently biting down. Contact your dentist if you feel any high points to prevent fracturing your filling or causing post-operative pain. High points may prevent you from closing your mouth properly or biting correctly. They can also cause problems like pain, the inability to eat on the side of the mouth where the filling is, fracture of the filling, earache, and clicking in the temporomandibular joint. If you notice any issues with your teeth, mouth, or fillings, contact your dentist. This will help ensure that there aren’t underlying issues and may prevent further damage to your teeth.  Watch for the following symptoms and contact your dentist if you experience any of them: Sensitivity in the restored tooth  Cracks in the filling  Missing or chipped off fillings  Discolored teeth or fillings  If you notice the filling is shaky and seepage is occurring at the margins when you drink something.

SUMMARY: Figure out how long it takes your filling to set. Take pain medication if needed. Avoid food and beverages until the anesthetic wears off. Avoid very hot and very cold foods and beverages. Avoid hard, chewy, or sticky foods. Chew on the opposite side of your mouth to the filling. Check for high points on the filling. Contact your dentist if you’re having any issues.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wait for about 10 minutes to let the disinfectant sit and more effectively attach to and eliminate germs. After 10 minutes, wipe the disinfected surface with a microfiber cloth. If you’ve cleaned multiple surfaces in a kitchen or bathroom, use a separate cloth for each surface to avoid contamination.

Let the spray sit for 10 minutes. Wipe with a microfiber cloth.
