Clean water award

Assuring the quality of water being fed through dental unit water lines straight into patients’ mouths has been a challenge faced by practices for many years, and one Janet was very aware of. To help with this problem, infection control specialists Dentisan recently opened a water testing facility at their in-house laboratory, offering practices a free service to test water samples. Following testing, the practice receives a report, either confirming decontamination of less than 200cfu/ml, or offering suggestions for remedial action.

Any practice submitting two consecutive samples of compliant water within a six-month period receives a ‘Clean Water Award’ certificate, an award that Janet and the team at The Dental Health Practice are very proud of.

Janet, pictured receiving her certificate from Dentisan’s Commercial Director Bob Newsome, commented: “I am delighted to have received this award. It provides not only valuable evidence of compliance, it also gives peace-of-mind for those ultimately responsible for the well-being of our patients and staff.”
