75 Chestnut St. Ridgewood, NJ 07450 201-445-4808 201-445-9081 FAX Recently, you may have heard or read media reports of bacterial growth inside dental waterlines, contaminating the water used to cool instruments or rinse your mouth during a dental procedure. Studies have shown this contamination to be a widespread problem throughout the United States, but there is no need for concern in this office. We have invested in the CLEARLINE Microfioltration system for our dental waterlines to solve this potential contamination problem. The next time you visit our office, you will notice a small filter on the waterline to each of our hand-pieces and water syringes. Next to this filter there is also a small one way valve, the BACKSTOP CHECK VALVE, to prevent fluids from being sucked back from inside the mouth. The filter and valve together, changed and discarded daily, completely prevents any bacteria from passing down the waterline. As a result, the CLEARLINE filter and BACKSTOP valve are the only daily-disposable system available that provides filtered sterile water to our instruments and protects you from exposure to any harmful bacteria and infection-causing pathogens that may reside in the waterlines. Our goal is to provide you with the safest care available. Please feel free to ask about CLEARLINE or BACSTOP. |
