Most dentists will do an oral examination during your regular dental visit.  This will ensure that any signs of oral cancer are picked up at their earliest stages. Getting regular dental examinations is a great way to nip any kind of oral disease in the bud. If you are under high risk for cancer (due to tobacco use, alcohol abuse, sun exposure or family history), then your dentist will give you periodic oral cancer screening tests during your regular oral examinations. During an oral examination, your dentist will check inside your mouth for color changes, red or white patches, and sores/ulcers.  With gloved hands, your dentist will press all your mouth tissues, including your cheeks, lips, tongue, floor and roof of the mouth, and sides of your tongue for any lumps, swelling, or changes of texture. Your dentist will do a complete examination of all your tissues and check for any cancer indications and changes in your mouth, face, and neck region. If your dentist identifies some cancer risk signs and symptoms, then he/she will do some more additional tests to screen for oral cancer. If your dentist finds any abnormal changes during the oral examination, then a biopsy will be carried out to detect cancer cells.  During a biopsy, a small piece of tissue from the affected area will be removed and checked for cancerous cells. Your dentist will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area where the biopsy is going to be done. Tissue taken from the area will be sent to a laboratory to test for the presence of cancer cells. If your dentist identifies lumps in your neck, then he will do a fine needle aspiration to get a sample of whatever is creating the bulge.  Your dentist will put a needle in the lump and draw out the cells and fluids contained within the lump. The fluid will be sent to a laboratory to check for the presence of cancerous cells. Tissue staining helps to identify the area where cancer cells are forming.  Your dentist will ask you to rinse your mouth with a blue colored dye (Toluidine Blue) or he/she will apply the dye over the affected tissue. If the tissue is stained a blue color when the dye is applied, then it indicates the presence of cancer cells. Light based detection helps to diagnose cancer by identifying the exact position of cancerous tissue.  First you will wash your mouth with a 1% acetic acid solution. This removes debris and dehydrate the cells, which makes it easy to visualize the cells or tissues of your mouth. A blue-white light is used to examine the inside your mouth. This light makes the healthy tissue appear blue or dark in color. The affected tissue looks white in color. If you have already had a biopsy done, sometimes your doctor will deem it best for you to avoid repeat biopsies, because they are somewhat invasive.  A small amount of blue dye will be painted over abnormal tissue area. Then the area is closely checked for cancer cells with a microscope.

Summary: Get regular dental examinations to catch cancer early. Have an oral examination done to identify and diagnose any abnormalities. Have a biopsy done to get your tissue analyzed. Undergo fine needle aspiration to diagnose lumps. Stain the tissue to identify cancer cells. Have light based detection done to identify where the affected tissue is located. Have microcytoscopy done to avoid repeated biopsy.


Girls tend to wear clothes that are more form fitting so you need to pick out an outfit that fits the boy well. Choosing a dress or skirt for the boy to wear will make it easy to distinguish that he’s dressing like a girl.  Some boys have very broad shoulders so finding a dress that fits him right might be hard. If the boy has broad shoulders, consider putting him in a skirt and shirt to get a better fit. If you choose to have him wear pants, it would be a good idea to have him wear skinny jeans with boots. This look is a popular style with girls. The shape of his clothing can impact how others view him when they look at his body. Get a more feminine shape by using clothes and their colors to accentuate areas of the body.  Wearing dark colors around the waist provides a slimming effect to create an hourglass look. Pick v-neck or lower cut tops to provide a more girly style. You can add different types of accessories to the outfit to complete the look. Accessories are an important part of a girl’s outfit, so adding accessories will give an authentic look to the boy’s outfit.  Jewelry like necklaces, bracelets, rings, and clip-on earrings will add a feminine touch to the outfit. If the boy is wearing a dress or skirt, you can have him wear tights to add color or design to his look. Shoe style is important when trying to dress a boy like a girl. If you want to make a boy look like a girl, he needs to wear shoes that are feminine.  Shoes with heels are a great choice. There are dress shoes and boots that have heels. Choosing a shorter heel is a good idea if the boy isn’t used to walking in heels yet. Fashion boots are also a great choice for dressing a boy like a girl.

Summary: Find an outfit that fits well. Pick complementary colors and styles. Add accessories. Select feminine shoes.


You could get dessert at the same restaurant where you eat, or go to a different place to wind down the night. No matter what type of date you had, it's nice to incorporate something sweet at the end. It is one last thoughtful touch that shows your date you put a lot of thought into planning the evening. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to share a dessert, just like in the movies.  Going out for ice cream is a nice way to end a date during the summer. If you're cooking at home, consider serving something with chocolate. It tends to be a favorite. If your date does not have a sweet tooth, you could go to a bar to grab a nightcap instead. Of course, if you or your date do not drink or are underage, this is not a good idea. Sometimes an individual cannot have rich desserts, especially those with diabetes. Or the person may have allergies, food sensitivities, medical conditions, or whatnot. Just be flexible and understanding. The end of a date can be a little awkward if you have not thought about it beforehand. Put some forethought into your plans. Are you going home separately after dinner? Do you plan to drop your date off after you're finished with dessert? Perhaps you may like to invite the person back to your house. Think about the logistics so you avoid that awkward “what now” moment after an otherwise perfect date.  Have your house ready in case you end up there. Have it clean and presentable. A kitchen with last night's dishes stacked in the sink and your dirty laundry in a pile on the floor will likely make a negative impression. End the date at a good time. Ending a date on the right note is tricky. In general, end it at a logical moment. For example, after the late movie ends, offer to drive her back to her place. It is generally better to end the date a little on the too early side than too late. Kiss, hug, or more? At the end of a date, especially a first one, generally a gesture will effectively end the date. This is sometimes a very awkward moment. Generally in a heterosexual date, the girl should decide what she is comfortable with offering the guy as a gesture. If something goes awry, remain calm and work towards having a good date anyway. A person who is inflexible, stresses out, and becomes irritable in the face of the unexpected will not be very successful with dates. In fact, dealing with the unexpected in a creative, positive way can make a big impression.
Summary: Don't forget dessert. End gracefully. Go with the flow.
