Dental Chair Daily Maintenance Tips

The dental chair is one of the commonly used equipment in the dental clinic. A dental chair usually integrates water, gas, and electricity, so routine dental chair maintenance is particularly important for the dental chair to prolong its service life, keep the integrity of accessories, and detect equipment failures in early time. This article will introduce in detail the dental chair maintenance methods and steps. 

 

 

Notice Before Using Dental Surgery Chair

Before using the dental treatment chair every day, pre-flush the pipes to ensure that the water, gas, electricity, and negative pressure required for the treatment are ready, so as to provide protection for the treatment.

  1. Put on gloves, pick up the handpiece pipe, turn on the cooling water switch on the dash straight plate;

  2. Place the handpiece pipe above the spittoon; 

  3. Step the pedal to increase the air pressure from the left to right, and hold for at least 10 seconds;

  4. Make sure that the water and gas are sprayed smoothly from the quick connector on the handpiece pipe.

Repeat steps 1 to 4 for other handpiece pipes in turn; press the automatic chair position and spittoon water outlet buttons to ensure that the dental chair is lifted and the spittoon water is normal.
