What are the ingredients in Zima Dental's sterilising tablets? (2024)

The Truth About Sterilising Tablets 

Sterilising tablets help remove stains and unwanted plaque buildup, offering advanced antibacterial action that leaves your oral appliance not just sanitised, but also odour free.

Despite their importance, most oral appliance cleaning tablets contain harsh chemicals that can harm both the appliance and the user. Chemicals such as potassium persulfate are common in cleaning tablets despite research indicating their danger. 

Used as oxidising agents in a number of cosmetic products and in food transportation, persulfates have been linked to tissue irritation, allergic reactions and other serious health issues if ingested. Denture tablets containing persulfates were the subject of an FDA public health alert in 2008, being connected to health problems. It was found that when the compound reacts with water, it creates toxic agents.

In contrast, Zima Dental's sterilising tablets, backed by scientific research, are made from carefully selected ingredients that were chosen for their effectiveness and safety. Our persulfate-free formulation makes it safe for regular use and provides a safe solution for you and for your oral appliance. Furthermore they were engineered to enhance the Dental pod's ultrasonic technology.

The result is an oral appliance that is not just clean, but clinically sanitised, without compromising either the appliance's integrity or your own well-being.
