DENTAL CHAIR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Dental chair maintenance begins with reading the instructions and cleaning procedures that come with your dental chair. The manual should provide very clear instructions as to the types of cleansers that can be used, how often the chair should be cleaned and procedures for dental chair disinfection.

Once you have identified and purchased the appropriate dental chair maintenance materials, it is important to test it on a small part of the upholstery that is in a discrete place on the portable dental chair . Some chemicals or cleansers can damage or ruin the upholstery.

Next, put on the appropriate personnel protective equipment such as gloves, gowns or masks and perform dental chair disinfection and cleaning according to the instructions printed in the manual.

In addition, maintaining for the upholstery on the chair itself, it is important to care for and disinfect the suction system and other attachments on the dental chair. See the instruction manual for specific instructions on how to care for your dental chair.
