During dental treatment, all surfaces in the room are at risk of becoming contaminated with bacterial and viral pathogens.
Removing harmful viruses and bacteria from dental surfaces requires cleaning and disinfection. This can be done in either two stages using a detergent to clean followed by a wipe to disinfect, or in a one-stage process using all-in-one cleaning and disinfectant wipes.
Whichever your preferred method, it is important that the wipes and detergents have the right spectrum of activity and efficacy. Click here to find out more.

Research has shown that there is a small possibility of cross-contamination from backflow from the low-volume suction lines used for the saliva ejector.
Suction lines should be cleaned every day with an evacuation system cleaner to remove blood and debris, and a disinfectant that is compatible with the evacuation system should be run through the tubing to ensure bacteria, fungi, and viruses are all deactivated.
