Questions and Answers about the use of
Natural Choice Hypochlorous Solution
in the Dental Office Environment

Q. Is Natural Choice non-corrosive?
A. Yes, Natural Choice Is Non-Corrosive.


Electrolysed Hypochlorous Solution (HOCL), the active ingredient in Natural Choice Antimicrobial is generally considered non-corrosive to most materials commonly found in dental settings, including metals, plastics, and dental equipment. Studies have demonstrated its compatibility with various surfaces and materials used in dental practices, with minimal risk of damage or corrosion.
(Sagripanti & Bonifacino, 1996)


Q. Can Natural Choice protect against aerosol pathogens in the dental
     environment?

A. Yes, Natural Choice Is Effective Against Oral and Aerosol Pathogens.

 

Natural Choice Antimicrobial has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, capable of effectively killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy against various microorganisms, including those commonly found in dental settings. (Selkon et al., 2010)


Natural Choice Antimicrobial has been shown to be effective against oral pathogens such as Strepto-coccus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Candida albicans, making it a promising disinfectant for dental environments. (Li et al., 2016)


Natural Choice Antimicrobial, completely inactivated  the SARS-CoV-2 surrogate virus in less than 30 seconds. Most likely, the use of HOCL solution will directly prevent the contamination of aerosol and droplets. (Tazawa K, et al, 2023)

​

Q. Does Natural Choice have regulatory approval?
A. Yes, Natural Choice Has Regulatory Approval  
 

 

Natural Choice Antimicrobial-type disinfectants have received regulatory approval from agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use as hospital disinfectants and general-purpose antimicrobial agents. Additionally, it has been exempted by the FDA and EPA for any warning or use and care directions because they found it to be Generally Regarded As Safe.


Q. Does Natural Choice eliminate biofilm?
A. Yes, Natural Choice Eliminates Biofilm


After five minutes of Natural Choice Antimicrobial exposure, biofilm microbes were below the lowest limit of detection equating to >99.9% removal. (Williams JF, et al, Hypochlorous Acid, 2017 )
 

Q. Can Natural Choice be Used to Treat Offices, Operatories and Labs?
A. Yes, Natural Choice Can Be Applied Using an Electrostatic Fogger for
     Total Infection Control


Natural Choice Antimicrobial resulted in >99.9% reductions of both infectivity and RNA titers of tested viruses within 10 min of exposure time. HOCL fogged in a confined space reduced the infectivity on surfaces by at least 99.9%. We conclude that HOCL solution as a liquid or fog is likely to be effective in disinfecting common settings to reduce virus exposures and thereby control virus spread.    (Park, et al, 2007)
