Dental Mirrors
Finding sources for dentist mirrors online
The dental mirror is one of the most used, if least appreciated pieces of dental equipment. It can be difficult to find tooth mirrors that are not only ergonomically sound but are also inexpensive. However, there are options for buying dental mirrors online if you know where to look.Consider the following suggestions when searching for a professional dental mirror:
- Check out reviews of available products before you decide to make a purchase.
- Smart shop and look at a few different sources for dentist mirrors to get the best price.
- If you need specialty items, like orthodontic dental mirrors or surgical dental mirrors, and have trouble finding them, locate a company that can custom make them for you.
See what others are saying about dental mirrors before you buy
The Internet has made it possible to obtain insight and opinions from other professionals before making a purchase. If you don't have a colleague who is willing to share knowledge with you, find dentists or other dental professionals online who will.
Try: Check out Dentalcompare.com for reviews and blogs of dental mouth mirrors and other products. The Dental Product Shopper also has reviews of products, including dentist mirrors. The American Dental Association (ADA) has an online newsletter reviewing various dental products.
Look at several different sources to find great deals on dental mirrors
It is very simple to get trapped in the rut of buying from one company. By shopping around you can sometimes find the same (or better) dental mouth mirror for a substantially lower cost.
Try: SmartPractice has a wide range of tooth mirrors, including disposable dental mirrors. Dental Equipment and Supply, Inc. sells mirrors, and has a printable catalog. Benco Dental has specialized software to make ordering your dentist mirror simpler. Pearson Dental also has a range of dental mirrors. If you need a lighted dental mirror, they have many to choose from.
Find a company that offers custom dental mouth mirrors to meet your special needs
If you are looking for an everyday mouth mirror, you may find dozens of sources. Finding a specialty dental mouth mirror, however, can often be a challenge if you are not sure where to look.
Try: Salvin Dental Specialties might be able to find that special tooth mirror that you are looking for. Orthodontic Supply & Equipment Co., Inc. has orthodontic dental mirrors, as well as handles for mirrors. If you still can't find exactly the right tooth mirror, you might see if Specialized Medical Devices can make the specific type of dental mirror you need.
- Look carefully at free shipping options. Sometimes you end up buying more than you actually need just to try and save those few extra dollars. You might be better off ordering only the dental mirrors you need and then see if the company will work with you on shipping costs. It never hurts to ask!
