How to clean your dental chairs and stools?
Most dentists and dental practitioners are aware of the need for regular maintenance and disinfection in dental office equipment and tools. However, cleaning the dental chair is an often overlooked – and yet very important – part of routine dental office disinfection procedures. The dental chair and operator stools should be cleaned periodically. Use mild soap and water and clean all surfaces, including the chair base assembly. Upholstery on dental chairs and stools can become cracked and worn over time. Harsh disinfectants can contribute to discoloration or damage.Adam Dental Supplies recommends cleaning your upholstery using a mild, non-ionic detergent and water solution, or any cleaner containing no alcohol, bleach, or ammonia. Clinicare Neutral Detergent and Clinicare Neutral Wipes are great for this purpose and are Neutral pH and a non-corrosive detergents.
What is the correct seating position in a dental stool?
An ergonomic seated position begins with an athletic stance. Feet roughly shoulder-width apart. Hips should be positioned above the knees with head directly over the spine to promote a natural S-shaped curve for the back. Elbows should rest at your side with hands slightly elevated.
