Problem: Article: For the first 24 – 48 hours after treatment your teeth will feel very sensitive, regardless of your previous dental history. It is best to avoid drinks that are either too hot or too cold. Try to drink and eat foods at room temperature. For example, instead of eating ice cream you might try some room temperature gelatin.  Even if you feel no pain after your procedure, it is best to be cautious and avoid exposing your teeth to extreme temperatures. It is good if you can avoid acidic foods and drinks as well. Soft drinks and citrus juices can irritate and inflame a healing mouth.  You should also avoid smoking and drinking or eating colored foods, so as not to stain the enamel, which is very vulnerable for the first 48 hours. It is always advisable to use a soft-bristled brush on your teeth before and after whitening procedures. Brush in a gentle circular motion. The soft bristles will clean your teeth without irritating the surface of your teeth. You will want to wait 30 minutes to an hour after your treatment before brushing your teeth. In the meantime, you can rinse your mouth out with water, if desired.  When rinsing and brushing, use lukewarm water to minimize your discomfort. If you are not comfortable brushing, you can place some toothpaste on a cotton swab and apply a thin layer to your teeth before going to bed. This will give you the benefit of fluoride without the irritation. Particular brands of toothpaste and mouthwashes contain varying degrees of fluoride. It is believed that fluoride helps to block the pain signals from your oral nerves, leading to less sensitivity. If you use fluoride, try not to eat anything for 30 minutes as this will give it more time to take effect.  Apply a fluoride gel over your teeth for five minutes and do not swallow. This will also help to increase salivary flow for a better remineralization of the enamel. Some good examples of mouthwashes and rinses that contain fluoride include: Listerine Fluoride Defense, Fluoride Listerine, Colgate Neutrafluor and Colgate Fluorigard. Immediately after your treatment, pull out your pack of sugar-free gum. Begin chewing a single piece at a time. Every 10 minutes spit out the chewed piece and begin working on a new one. Do this until you go through the whole pack. This cycle is believed to lessen tooth sensitivity after whitening treatments. Avoid this method if you have stomach problems or if you did not eat anything. Mastication (chewing) influences the release of the gastric acid in your stomach, increasing the risk of ulcers. It is generally okay to have one to two tray-based or dental office whitening procedures per year. Any more than that can compromise the integrity of your teeth and will increase sensitivity. Try to consider whitening as a serious procedure and not a regular part of your dental routine. If you are using whitening toothpastes or strips at home, try to cut back to every other day. This will give your teeth more time to recover in between treatments. If your teeth continue to bother you more than 48 hours after your procedure, it’s a good idea to make a dental appointment. Your dentist will take a close look at your teeth to determine whether the whitening amped up your sensitivity or if there is another underlying issue, such as a cavity. When you visit your dentist it may be helpful to bring along the packaging or the actual strips/toothpaste that you use to whiten at home. Your dentist may be able to recommend a better alternative.
Summary: Avoid hot and cold drinks. Brush your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Use products that contain fluoride to remineralize the teeth. Chew a pack of sugar-free gum. Give your teeth a break between whitening treatments. Visit your dentist if the sensitivity persists.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Find a used can or jar, and fill it about halfway with apple cider vinegar. Mix in a drop of dish soap to break the surface tension, which will help prevent trapped gnats from escaping. Leave the jar in an area you've seen gnats buzzing about, such as your kitchen or dining room.  After you fill your can or jar, you could seal the lid and poke small holes in it with a nail or screw. That way, any gnats that don’t drown in the vinegar can’t escape. You could also cut a 2 liter (0.53 US gal) plastic bottle in half, and add vinegar to the bottom half. Place the top, or the part with the narrow nozzle, upside down into the base. It should look like a funnel when you're done. Gnats will follow the vinegar scent to find their way into the trap, but they'll have a hard time getting out through bottle's narrow top. If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, any type of vinegar will do. Other effective baits include beer or mashed banana. Fill a small cup about halfway with red wine, then mix in a drop of a dish soap. Leave the cup out on your table or countertop to attract pesky gnats. The next time you have friends over for drinks, pour an extra cup of wine with dish soap to keep gnats away from your guests’ glasses. Just make sure you clearly mark the cup that has dish soap to avoid confusion. Traps can help you monitor an infestation and decrease the number of adult gnats in your home. However, on their own, traps aren’t an effective way to manage an infestation. In order to eliminate gnats completely, you’ll need to combat all stages of their life cycle. Traps only kill adult gnats; they do nothing to fight eggs or larvae.

SUMMARY: Trap gnats in a jar filled with vinegar. Try making a wine and soap trap. Use traps in combination with other management methods.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Track when you feel tired, how long your sleepiness lasts, and any changes you’ve noticed since taking Xanax. Write down what you try to alleviate the sleepiness and if it helps. Write down your symptoms in a notebook or use a phone application to track them. Once you’ve tracked your symptoms, share them with your prescriber. Present this information to your prescriber so that they can see what your symptoms are, how long they last, and what interventions you’ve tried. Your prescriber may choose to adjust your dosage or switch medications for you.  Keep in mind that medications inherently have side-effects that may be unpleasant. You may need to decide whether your sleepiness is livable and if the positives of Xanax outweigh the costs. If you find it too difficult to stay awake and you’ve tried various methods, it may be time to discuss changing medications. If you take medication for anxiety long-term, consider switching to another type of anti-anxiety that doesn’t induce drowsiness. For example, ask your prescriber about taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) medication, which have a lower chance of dependency and may have different side-effects. SSRI medication also is safe for long-term use. Talk to your prescriber to see if this medication is right for you.
Summary:
Monitor your symptoms. Tell your prescriber about your sleepiness. Ask about alternative medications.
