Enhancing dental air quality standards in Australia

Together, we can create a safer, healthier environment in dental practices nationwide

As suppliers of premium air extraction technologies and champions for increased workplace safety throughout Australia, we take pride in providing clients across diverse sectors access to industry-specific air extraction equipment.  Our dedication and commitment to the dental industry is no exception, and we are committed to ensuring every smile shines safely.

We all know that instantly recognisable smell of a dental clinic. For most patients, that smell indicates a sterile, clinical environment. But what many people don’t realise is that a dental office is one of the places where air quality can be significantly compromised.

During dental procedures, patients undergo treatments like drilling, polishing, and cleaning – and each of these procedures generates dangerous microparticles and aerosols that pose health risks to both the patient and the dental professionals.

In addition to the particles generated by the procedures, dental practices also use chemicals and disinfectants – the ones that cause the infamous smell – to ensure a sterile environment. Without active protection and effective air extraction systems, the combination of these contaminants can linger in the air and cause discomfort for workers and patients and potentially lead to long-term respiratory issues.

Holistic safety focus for staff and patients

Unlike some other industries where our products are used in warehouses and manufacturing facilities, the dental industry offers unique challenges as it has a public-facing role. In a dental clinic, creating a safe and comfortable environment is essential not just for the staff but especially for the patients, who may already feel anxious or vulnerable before and during their visit.

When our products are used in warehouses, our goals are often focused on balancing operational efficiency alongside workplace safety. In dental environments, however, our clients’ priorities change, and they instead require a delicate balance between maintaining hygiene standards and creating a calming atmosphere for patients.

While our extractions arms labelled “Nederman Safe” are designed to tackle invisible contaminants in the air, the units themselves produce visible reassurance to patients that their chosen dental practice places patient safety at the forefront of their operations. 

Bringing international best practices to Australian dental care

Australian dental practices have a great opportunity to learn from overseas case studies like the one conducted by the DENTAL ADVISOR Biomaterials Research Center in the US.

Their eight-patient clinical trial of the Nederman FX2 aerosol control solution demonstrated the effectiveness of this technology in reducing airborne bacteria during ultrasonic scaling procedures. The study showed a significant reduction in bacterial loads when using the Nederman Safe extraction arm compared to traditional methods.

As we deepen our understanding of air quality in Australian dental clinics, integrating our products to give patients aerosol-free encounters will position local practices as leading providers and give you a marketing edge by offering superior safety for both patients and staff.

Benefits of improved air quality in the dental industry

Our air extraction and filtration solutions give dental practices a true edge in patient care and workplace health and safety. Our solutions reduce airborne particles, bacteria and chemicals and promote better health outcomes for employees while simultaneously reassuring patients that their dental treatment is carried out in a safe and clean environment.

Our advanced extraction systems also contribute to the longevity of dental equipment. High levels of contaminants and dust can damage dental machinery, leading to frequent breakdowns and costly services. By installing our efficient air filtration systems, dental clinics can reduce equipment wear and tear, lower maintenance costs, and improve overall clinic performance.

Our role in shaping the future of Australian Dental Clinics

As technology continues to create new and exciting avenues for dental professionals, it’s important for practice owners to ensure their patients are given the best level of care possible. We pride ourselves at being at the forefront of industry changes, offering our world-class dental extraction products to all Australian communities.

Our vast local landscape was previously a challenge with many isolated communities unable to access quality dental care. Last year we partnered with William Green in the Bila Muuji Mobile Dental Clinic project. This ground-breaking initiative brought premium dental services directly to remote Australian communities. 

We are committed to making changes and ensuring physical boundaries that historically posed significant challenges in the dental industry are no longer an issue when sourcing and achieving superior dental treatment.

As we look to the future, we are eager to collaborate with more dental clinics and dental universities across Australia to enhance patient safety and care. By sharing our innovative solutions and expertise, we aim to empower the current and next generation of Australian dental professionals to provide the highest standards of service while ensuring the comfort and well-being of their patients.

Together, we can create a safer, healthier environment in dental practices nationwide.
