On this episode of Hygiene Happy Hour, host Misty Mattingly welcomes Cydian Kaufman from Pure Water Northwest to explore an often-overlooked topic in dentistry: the water that flows through our dental units. What starts as a chat about water systems quickly turns into a fascinating deep dive into biofilms, bacteria, and the hidden science of water quality. With humor and insight, Misty and Cydian uncover why waterline maintenance matters more than ever, for both patient safety and overall dental hygiene.
Cydian shares his unexpected journey from tech and real estate into the world of water treatment, where he discovered just how complex and “alive” water really is. He explains how stagnant water in dental lines can become a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, why shocking waterlines isn’t always enough, and how new solutions like chlorination, UV, and ozone systems can make a real difference. Together, they connect the dots between oral biofilms and water system biofilms, showing how both impact human health in surprisingly similar ways.
With a glass of The Prisoner wine in hand, Melissa brings her signature warmth and curiosity to the conversation, making even the chemistry of water feel approachable and fun. Whether you’re a dental professional looking to improve your infection control protocols or just someone curious about what’s really in your water, this episode offers practical insights, laughter, and a refreshing reminder that clean water and clean smiles go hand in hand.
