The importance of an outside service for dental water line testing is to ensure that the dental unit water quality meets the standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for drinking water, which is less than or equal to 500 colony-forming units of heterotrophic bacteria per milliliter (≤500 CFU/mL) of water.

Outside service refers to using microbiological testing kits or services that are provided by external companies or laboratories that specialize in dental water testing.

Through the meticulous process of testing, shocking, treating, and quarterly retesting, we, at Integrity Dental Systems, are proud to certify that the water in every dental office under our care consistently meets and exceeds all the necessary regulatory standards. Furthermore, upon successful certification, our team ensures that a clear and effective "patient-facing communication" is provided to the office, effectively conveying the importance placed on our patients’ overall health and well-being.
