List of Registered Dental Unit Waterline Cleaners

Dental unit waterline cleaners are pesticides and must be registered for sale and use in California.  In 2005, the state Department of Pesticide Regulation fined major dental suppliers for selling unregistered products.  This action meant that, for several months, many dental unit waterline products were no longer for sale in the state.

Currently, six products are registered for sale and use in California, and these are listed below.   This list is updated regularly.
