Water.  It’s an expected part of every dental office visit. Yet, surveys show that up to two-thirds of dental offices are not shocking their dental water lines regularly.

And of those that do, up to 80% are not doing it correctly!

This year the CDC & OSHA updated regulations for keeping waterlines cleaned in the new Standard of  Dental Practice Infection Control  Protocols.  This  44-page document reviews 20+ protocols that needs to be updated & implemented in every USA dental office. Dental office “water” needs to be tested, treated and shocked into purity! (at least every 30 -90 days---to include proof-of-testing!)

Water testing and purity is now the “Standard of Care” in dentistry. 

Want to learn more??  I love this video and landing page form Pro Edge.

Their minute video on the 3 Steps to Properly Shock Dental water Lines will give you clarity on “what to do” To shock water lines properly.  And they provide a PDF that you can review with your team, so that your lines are being Shocked properly.  This info makes for a great staff meeting…
