Dental practices often add new sterilization, imaging, compressor, suction, and digital equipment over time. But the electrical infrastructure supporting that technology may not always be reviewed at the same pace.

Recurring breaker trips, warm outlets, flickering lights, or long-term reliance on extension cords and power bars can be signs that a closer look is needed.

The second article in our new series explores common electrical risks in dental offices, warning signs to watch for, and what to consider before adding new equipment.

Water damage in a dental practice does not always begin with a major flood. A slow leak behind cabinetry, a failing supply line, or an overflowing HVAC drain can spread into flooring, walls, equipment, and neighbouring spaces before it is discovered.

Our latest article, developed using risk-management guidance and claims insights from Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, looks at practical ways dental practices can detect leaks earlier, respond faster, and reduce the impact of water damage.

A practice interruption can affect dentists differently, but problems with equipment, technology, and clinical environment can impact everyone’s ability to keep working.

Over the next few weeks, we will share practical guidance on common risks in dental practices and ways to reduce their impact.

It may also be a good opportunity to review whether your practice interruption coverage reflects the true cost of all that is lost when the doors have to close.
