Kindness versus effectiveness

Due to the complexity of the dental practice setting, it’s not as easy as choosing the strongest cleaning solution you can find, as there are many considerations.

Efficacy is vital

It goes without saying that any cleaning products need to be highly effective. The coronavirus pandemic has proven it’s more important than ever to ensure infection control standards are irreproachable in your practice, and this means finding products that can effectively eliminate potential threats.

This is especially important when you consider that dental practices are the perfect environment for disease transmission because of high footfall. As such, you’ll want to look out for products that guarantee they can kill 99.9999% of pathogens. This should include bacteria, viruses and other potential problem-causing microbes, such as fungi and yeasts. It’s also a good idea to see if these products are able to destroy novel viruses, such as coronavirus – the more up to date and effective your products, the better they will be at minimising the chance of cross-infection and keeping people safe.
