Dental Offices

Dental offices are unique healthcare environments where strict infection control is paramount. The nature of dental procedures—involving aerosols, saliva, and blood—creates a heightened risk of cross-contamination between patients, staff, and surfaces. From the front desk and waiting area to the treatment rooms, every surface, instrument, and water line is a potential source of microbial transmission. Biofilms, which are particularly prevalent in dental unit water lines (DUWLs), can harbour a wide array of pathogens, including Legionella and Pseudomonas species, posing a significant health risk. Ensuring that every piece of equipment and every surface is thoroughly disinfected is critical not only for patient safety and compliance with health regulations, but also for maintaining the trust and confidence of your patients.

Our advanced chlorine dioxide solutions offer a superior approach to disinfection for dental practices. Chlorine dioxide is a highly effective biocide that is proven to eliminate a broad spectrum of pathogens, including those found in DUWL biofilms, without causing corrosion to dental instruments or equipment. Its potent oxidising action quickly breaks down the cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, providing a comprehensive level of disinfection. Unlike many other disinfectants, it does not produce harmful byproducts and is safe for use in the concentrations required for dental applications.

Our solutions can be used for a wide range of needs, from disinfecting high-touch surfaces in waiting rooms and operating rooms to sanitising dental instruments and treating dental unit water lines. By integrating our chlorine dioxide products, your dental practice can achieve a higher standard of infection control, protect both patients and staff, and ensure a sterile and safe environment

How to use Chlorine Dioxide

Implementing our chlorine dioxide solutions in your dental office is a simple and effective process.

To use the solution for surface disinfection, simply activate the concentrate by adding it to a pre-determined amount of water to create a ready-to-use disinfectant. This can then be applied using a spray bottle and a microfiber cloth to wipe down all clinical surfaces between patients.

For treating dental unit water lines, our solutions can be easily integrated into your existing water system with a specialised dosing system, providing continuous disinfection and preventing biofilm formation.

Our products are designed for ease of use and maximum efficacy, allowing your team to maintain a consistently high level of cleanliness and safety without disrupting the flow of your practice.

Uses for Chlorine Dioxide

Scotmas is the first choice for operators and businesses requiring Chlorine Dioxide tablets for safe and effective disinfection.

Surface & Room Disinfection

Chlorine Dioxide is highly effective for sanitising hard surfaces, patient rooms, and high-risk areas. It can also be used for terminal cleaning after patient discharge, ensuring hygienic, pathogen-free environments in healthcare facilities.

Medical Equipment & Laundry Sterilisation

From cold sterilisation of medical instruments to the sanitisation of hospital linens and uniforms, Chlorine Dioxide provides powerful disinfection without damaging fabrics or sensitive materials.

Water System Treatment & Biofilm Control

Chlorine Dioxide is a proven biocide for water systems, eliminating Legionella, Pseudomonas, and other pathogens. Its ability to penetrate and remove biofilms ensures clean and safe water distribution.

HVAC & Air System Disinfection

As a fogging agent, Chlorine Dioxide disinfects heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. This prevents the spread of microorganisms through the air, improving overall air quality and safety.

Odour Elimination

Chlorine Dioxide doesn’t just mask odours — it oxidises and destroys the compounds that cause them. This makes it an effective solution for tackling unpleasant smells while leaving a clean, fresh environment.
