Find Answers to the Hottest Questions About Dental Chair

Here are top 10 questions about dental chair asked by people online.

1. Cavity Question? First Time Getting A Filling.?

If you have been eating TONS of sugars and acids, and not brushing your teeth for long periods of time, yes, the cavities may be worse off than before. But, it sounds to me like you have been taking pretty good care of your teeth- keep up the good work! First, a few pointers: *Rinse out your mouth after eating sugars or sodas with water ASAP *Do not eat too much sugar Procedure:(bear with me, I have not had a filling in 4 years) *sit in dental chair *dentist puts an expander in your mouth to hold your mouth open *rubber sheet is placed in your mouth to protect? the other teeth? *numbing shot is given to the areas that will be affected *dentist makes sure tooth is free of debris, then begins to drill out the cavities that need to be filled *dentist uses gun filled with filling to fill the cavities *tooth is washed with water and cooled down(the filling is HOT!!) And you are done! On a scale of 1-10, the numbing shot is about a 5. It hurts, but not too badly. That is the only painful part. If you do not have to get a numbing shot, there is nothing to worry about! Fillings are a piece of cake, and you will be overjoyed when you are all finished. The fillings will be sensitive for a few days...I remember not being able to eat anything too hot or too cold for about 4 days. After that, though, fillings are just fine. Good luck! Do not stress, fillings are no big deal!

2. Dental Chair Warranty - Annual Awards - Best Brand May Surprise You!

By Jayme Amos. Get free updates of posts here This is about to feel like an awards show with a clear, obvious loser and winners. First, take a guess what dental chair warranty might be the best? Seriously - pause for just a second- do not skip ahead! Ok, now I will list them from best to worst... Arguably the Most Important Equipment in Your Office: Which Company Has The Best Dental Chair Warranty? Pelton and Crane's dental chair warranty rings in at 5 years. That's huge. That means that your typical loan for dental equipment will have parts and labor covered for the whole loan. Very impressive! The upholstery is covered with just 1 year or warranty, however, and it seems the upholstery warranty length is the same among all manufacturers of dental chairs. What I really like about a 5 year warranty is that we normally see clients have loans that extend for 5 years. If you are considering having a loan for your equipment, it only seems wise to have a warranty that lasts the entire length of the loan, right? Marus' dental chair warranty tied for first place with a 5 year warranty! While this is technically a tie, we are putting them in 2nd place for a reason most doctors never consider...but might want to.... One observation that stood out to us was the issue of market share. In the business world, market share means who sold the most. Marus' market share is considerably lower than Pelton and Crane - for that reason alone, Marus is not at the top of the list, even though the warranty is the same. Market share might not seem like the most important issue but it is one to consider seriously. Why? When you have a chair stop working, you and your patients are stuck. Market share of a dental chair becomes important when you want fast access to parts, service technicians who are deeply familiar with the product and a representative from the manufacturer who is close enough to come help out when you are in a bind. The bigger the market share, the more access to cheaper, better, faster response. Market share is NOT a primary determining factor but it is one you should consider on your search of the right brand. For that reason, we give a slight disadvantage to Marus on our awards list. But hey, a tie for 1st place is pretty dang good. But do not be fooled...the 5 year dental chair warranty are more rare than you might think. Dentists deserve to let go of a little stress and a 5 year dental chair warranty is a nice bonus when you are trying to fall asleep at night, worry free. Forest chair warranties also tie with a 5 year warranty as described on their website. We found this to be interesting as Forest has a perception of being the "up and comer" in the industry. Their market share is considerably lower than the other 2 brands at the top of our list. Where do you fit in? Are you an adopter of the "underdog" or are you more likely to purchase based on larger market share? If you like the underdog and want a 5 year dental chair warranty, Forest Dental Chairs are for you. The Midmark dental chair warranty comes in at 2 years, as described on their website. Their number 2 ranking shows they are not in the same 5-year-league as the others but #4 in line any way you look at it. Not a bad spot to sit in when you consider all the various options of dental chairs. If you are like most dentists, this comes as a surprise! Did you "guess" that Adec would be near the top of this dental chair warranty list? The winners of this list have a dental chair warranty that extends through the entire length of your loan, giving you peace of mind. Meanwhile, the brand that many "think" is the best, has the weakest warranty by far. That surprised us. We will see if things change in the coming years and we will make sure to update you as things change!
