Dental Associates and its 14 Southeast Wisconsin dental offices now own Zirc Dental Products’ Mr. Thirsty and Kulver’s Ivory ReLeaf. Both devices suck in saliva particles before they go into the air.

Amanda Belcher, a dental hygienist at Franklin, Wis.-based Dental Associates, said she feels safe and the devices protect both staff and patients.
