Water Testing for your Dental Practice
The Dental Water Test
Tap water in dental practices has to fulfil certain standards of hygiene so as not to put the welfare of the patient at risk. Water testing for dental practices should ideally be carried out on a regular basis. A tap water analysis determines how hygienic the tap water in the practice is. The focus of the water analysis is on legionella, the total bacteria count at 36 °C, and pseudomonads.
The Dental Water Test Kit includes
- Accredited test report for submission to relevant office
- Analysis in an accredited laboratory
- Complies with government guidelines

Water analysis in dentistry - for patient protection
Dental practices use water for various purposes. From washing hands to cooling instruments and rinsing mouths, it is not uncommon for water to come into contact with open wounds. It is difficult to avoid the build up of biofilm in DUWLs because not much water flows through the pipes. If contaminated water comes into contact with open wounds, it can lead to infection. Therefore dentists are required to guarantee the hygiene and safety of the water used for dental examinations or treatments.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
"Extremely simple to do and well explained"
'My boss ordered the water test kit and "laid it on the table" without further explanation. I had my doubts initially, seeing as I had never taken a water sample before. However, the instructions in the kit explained EVERYTHING, step by step. I can honestly say that taking the sample is effortless and you don't need any special background knowledge.'
Niemann
"Very good, well-structured process"
'The organisation of logistics was impressive. The parcel arrived the day after we had ordered and paid. The procedure was easy and understandable. Your company's availability on the phone was outstanding and customer service friendly. The UPS driver came punctually as agreed. The lab results were clear, easy to understand and punctual, as expected. Fantastic. High praise from Hildesheim!'
