We work alongside you as a contributor to safer, stronger dentistry.

You Have Got Questions. We Have Answers.
Still Need Help?
What are the CDC Guidelines Exactly?
The CDC aligns with the EPA in recommending that dental unit waterlines remain at or below 500 colony forming units (CFUs)/mL. Beyond that, guidance can vary, which is why we’ve compiled a state-by-state resource to help you stay informed and aligned with current expectations.
How often do waterlines need to be shocked?
All dental waterlines need to be shocked regularly. We typically recommend quarterly shocking, unless your testing results indicate you can go longer. If you’re starting a waterline maintenance plan, shocking is the best place to begin.
While some products or systems suggest shocking may not be necessary, research—including the Molinari Study—shows that biofilm still develops over time. Regular shocking remains an important part of maintaining safe water, regardless of your water source or treatment method.
You should shock dental unit waterlines in any of the following situations:
Before starting or changing a treatment protocol
After a failed test (microbial counts > 500 CFU/mL)
As part of routine biofilm and bacteria control
When replacing or supplementing a continuous treatment solution

If an operatory fails a waterline test, does it need to be shut down?
Decisions around operatory closure are made at the discretion of the doctor. What matters most is taking action quickly once a failed result is identified.
In most cases, the first step is to shock the waterlines and retest to confirm that counts have returned to acceptable levels. From there, you can determine next steps with more clarity.
If you receive a failing result and aren’t sure what to do next, our team is here to help you work through a clear path forward.
Why should my clients designate an infection control coordinator in their office?
Designating an infection control coordinator helps bring consistency and clarity to infection prevention in your practice. This person serves as a central point of focus—helping ensure protocols are followed, questions are answered, and standards are maintained.
They often take the lead on training, stay current on guidelines, and help the team understand how daily actions connect to patient and staff safety. When something needs attention, they help guide the next steps so nothing is left unclear.
With someone owning this responsibility, the work becomes more organized and easier for the entire team to keep up with.

Why does BluTube have two straws instead of one?
BluTube is designed with two straws to maintain consistent treatment strength over time. While some products are intended to last up to a year, treatment effectiveness can begin to decline after several months.
By including a second straw, BluTube allows you to refresh the system partway through the year—helping maintain effectiveness and support more consistent biofilm control over time.
