We advise our customers against using certain brands of sterilising tablets with their Dental pods, as they may damage the device. Unlike Zima’s sterilising tablets, which are specifically formulated for use with the Dental pod, other brands may contain ingredients that form hypochlorite ions when mixed with water.

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.

During the rigorous design process of the Dental pod, prototypes including UV lights were tested. However, it was decided that UV would not be included in the Dental pod for the following 3 reasons.

With a little effort, you can effortlessly keep your Hydro pod Water Flosser clean, guaranteeing that you get the most out of the unit for your oral health.

The Dental pod effectively cleans night guards. It cleans quickly, efficiently, and with little to no effort on your part. You also don’t need to worry about damaging your appliance. I recommend that you use the Dental pod to clean your night guard every morning after you wake up.
