DENTAL CLINICS & PRACTICES
Every time your handpiece runs, it aerosolizes water directly into your patient's breathing zone.
What's in your dental unit waterlines?
CDC recommends dental unit water contain fewer than 500 CFU/mL of heterotrophic bacteria.
Multiple state dental boards now mandate specific waterline treatment protocols. Legionella in dental waterlines has caused confirmed patient infections - and malpractice claims.
MANDATES THAT APPLY TO YOUR FACILITY
-
CDC Surveillance - Dental unit water must contain fewer than 500 CFU/mL of heterotrophic bacteria to ensure safe clinical practice.
-
ADA Guidance - The American Dental Association endorses specific waterline treatment protocols for all active dental practices.
-
State Dental Boards - Multiple US states now have enforceable waterline safety standards that require documented compliance and regular testing.
THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER
500 CFU/mL
CDC limit for dental unit water quality. Most untreated waterlines exceed this threshold.
100%
Direct aerosol exposure route. Contaminated water is delivered directly into the patient airway.
Log 10
99.99999999% reduction efficiency. Validated point of use filtration provides the highest possible level of protection.
180 Days
MWT filter service life.
Semi annual maintenance requiring only two changes per year.

EMERGENCY WATER SAFETY RESPONSE
Expert Support. Immediate Response.
Same-day dispatch
When waterline contamination is confirmed at a dental practice, immediate corrective action is mandatory. State boards and the CDC expect implemented, documented control measures during any follow-up investigation.
Purchase orders alone never satisfy audit requirements or ensure patient safety.
Installed point-of-use filtration with FDA-aligned documentation provides a clear, auditable corrective measure. MWT systems are designed for same-day dispatch, allowing clinical staff to complete installation in under five minutes per fixture. This provides an instant physical barrier at the point of patient contact without the need for licensed plumbers or operatory shutdowns.
