Serious issues have developed  from poor water quality in dental offices.

 Dental professionals could be unknowingly causing health issues for patients just simply because their water is not properly maintained. Dental unit water lines provide the ideal medium for growth of complex biofilms that can be difficult to break down.  Stopping this growth is troublesome, and the removal of the biofilm must be done on a regular basis through a shocking protocol. 

If your office happens to be the one to make a patient sick, without a water shocking and testing protocol you will likely have a difficult time in the courtroom.  There are stories in the news and lawsuits being filed over dental unit water quality. As these stories and lawsuits come out, so will the questions from patients.
