“The Dental pod keeps aligners and retainers very clean, it is better than just using standard retainer cleaning tablets. Plus patients and I love the sleek aesthetic design, they've proved very popular.”
We want to caution our customers about the potential risks of using certain sterilising tablets that contain chemicals that can form hypochlorite ions.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, or SLS, is a common ingredient in many personal care and cleaning products, including oral appliance sterilising tablets. While SLS can effectively clean and sterilise oral appliances, it also poses potential risks that consumers should be aware of.
It may be wise to avoid products combining vitamin C with sodium benzoate, especially in large quantities or in products that are stored for extended periods of time.
See below some easy steps to take care of your Dental pod. We recommend you to follow these dos and don'ts for a long lasting unit and effective cleaning.
The Dental pod was designed, tested and engineered specifically to clean oral appliances, taking meticulous care to prevent any of the real dangers of damage. In contrast, a jewellery cleaner is designed for cleaning jewellery and has considered none of the risks to oral appliance patients.
