The Choice of Dental Chairs and Stools Affects Patients and Dentists
Dentists and their patients should always be seated comfortably. Both stand to benefit when considering the ergonomic qualities of dental chairs and stools. For many patients, visiting the dentist is still a source of tension, which, although largely unjustified in light of the many technological advances in this discipline, does little to simplify the task of their dental practitioners. Fortunately, many innovative dental chairs for sale now provide an exceptional level of comfort that helps patients to relax.
Likewise, although dentists often spend considerable periods on their feet, when free to work seated, they must also be as comfortable as possible to ensure optimal performance. Consequently, choosing dental stools should be undertaken with care, with the primary focus on ergonomics and comfort.
Undoubtedly, the best advice regarding each of these essential purchases is to stick with the established brand leaders. If you are in the market for quality knee-break dental chairs or ergonomic dentist stools, that would be A-dec and Belmont.
Desirable Key Features of Ergonomic Dental Chairs and Stools
Dentistry is physically demanding. Over a prolonged period, repeated reaching, turning and twisting can eventually lead to chronic neck and back pain, affecting one’s sleep, mood, work performance and general quality of life. During an average year, most dental health professionals will report at least one musculoskeletal disorder, and up to 60% will experience lower back pain, a major contributor to early retirement in this profession. However, making the right choice of equipment for dentists can significantly improve overall comfort and convenience for patients and practitioners alike. Here are some valuable tips about what to look for when purchasing dental chairs and stools.
Dentist stools
Research by a physiotherapist found that ensuring the hips are positioned higher than the knees helps reduce strain on the lower back muscles and pressure on the lumbar discs. The combination of a tiltable seat, contoured backrest with push-button height control, labelled paddles for easily accessible adjustment, choice of two cylinder heights and near-seamless upholstery of the A-dec 521 stool guarantees dentists the ultimate comfort experience.
Dental Chairs
The choice of dental chair is not only important to patients but can also determine how much stretching and twisting will be necessary for the dentist. One frequent consideration when choosing these items is the area of available floor space in the treatment room. Where this may be restricted, the most practical solution is to select one of the wide range of knee-break dental chairs for sale from Hague Dental Supplies.
These are the benefits you will enjoy if, for example, you should decide to purchase the Belmont Eurus S6:
- Touch screen: This feature provides one-touch control across a wide range of functions.
- Precise positioning: The unit is effortlessly adjustable through various positions, reducing adjustment time and fatigue.
- Ease of accessibility: From the zero position, the chair can be easily adjusted to accommodate children or older patients.
