Overview
In our environment, we
are exposed to countless germs or bacteria.
These common microbes or germs accumulate
inside things like showerheads, faucets
and fountains, and in the thin tubes
used to deliver water in dental treatment.
Scientific reports have not linked illness
to water passing through dental waterlines.
Patients should always feel free to ask
their dentist about water quality or
any other aspect of their practice.
