An autoclave is a pressure chamber that is used to sterilize equipment and supplies with high temperature steam which is around 121 degrees Celsius. The equipment and supplies that are sterilized in an autoclave are kept in their sterile pouches until they are used during the treatment of a new patient. The effectiveness of the autoclaves are being inspected via color-changing indicators. In each autoclaving process, the effectiveness of the pouch is tracked by the indicators that are put in the pouches.
Teeth whitening is a safe application that is being used for a very long time. It might cause a slight sensitivity for 24-48 hours after the application.

– Primary teeth start to come in (erupt) at about 6 months of age and the complete set of primary teeth are formed around 2-2.5 years of age. Shortly after age 4, the jaw and facial bones of the child begins to grow, creating spaces between the primary teeth. This is a perfectly natural growth process that provides the necessary space for the larger permanent teeth to emerge. Between the ages of 6 and 12, a mixture of both primary teeth and permanent teeth reside in the mouth. The dental cavities on the primary teeth should definitely be treated. Otherwise the cavity evolves and the child feels a great pain. It also causes infection and this affects the permanent teeth. This affects the structure of the permanent tooth that erupts from the bottom and may damage the permanent tooth.
As the permanent teeth start to grow, the roots of the primary teeth start to thin. The teeth to come in first are the frontal teeth on the lower jaw (6-7 years). The permanent teeth start to come in from the back, from where the tongue roots. They come into the frontal jaw by the effect of the tongue. The primary teeth start to become loose, this starts to thin the roots and the primary teeth fall out. This is a natural process. It doesn’t result in crooked teeth. But if the permanent teeth take their place in the mouth and the primary teeth. However, if permanent teeth settle in the mouth and primary teeth remain in the mouth without shaking, then extraction of primary teeth is necessary. You should consult your dentist without delay.
