The Dental Directory claims it can help take the pain out of choosing a chair for the dental practice. It can supply chairs from a wide range of manufacturers including Belmont, Murray, Salli, Support Stools and DentalEZ from saddle stools to more traditional operator stools.

For example the Support Stool has been designed to ensure correct positioning. The seat shape rotates the pelvic crest forwards whilst the back rest supports the lumbar region. Its 'free floating' action ensures that muscle tone is maintained and assists blood circulation, according to the company.
