What Is a Dental Stool?
During appointments, dentists, as well as assistants and hygienists, will sit on a stool to perform procedures ranging from cleanings to root canals. In turn, a more ergonomic shape isn’t just a benefit — it’s key for reducing back, neck and arm strain and helping prevent chronic pain conditions from developing.
To aid dentists and their assistants in doing their jobs, the ideal dental stool is adjustable and aligns with the spine’s natural curve. These factors allow for improved positioning, including the ability to sit closer to the patient and reducing the need to reach.
Features of Galaxy Dental Stools and Chairs
No matter which model you choose, all Galaxy dental stools are adjustable for more tailored accommodations; an adjustment knob helps you find the ideal position. In addition, Galaxy stools provide:
- Lumbar, back and arm support.
- A hand-cut plastic back designed to follow your spine’s natural shape.
- An adjustable height and optional ratcheting.
- A seat that tilts in three directions.
- A foot ring.
- Casters built to withstand wear and tear.
- High-resilience foam, which helps the seat maintain its shape, use after use.

A solid dental practice starts with the basics, and that certainly includes dental assistant stools. These primary pieces of equipment are important for making sure that dental hygienists and other staff can do their work to the best of their ability — rather than reaching and stooping over patients, which can contribute to developing chronic pain with time.
At DuraPro Health, we know that even simple items like dental stools need to be carefully chosen to meet your unique needs. That’s why we off
How to Select the Right Dental Assistant Stool
You and your assistant, as well as your hygienist, spend a significant amount of time on a dental stool, be it performing procedures, reviewing imaging results or entering information into a computer system.
Considering this, adjustability is paramount. It needs to be easy for dental professionals to change their position as needed to access teeth across the mouth and work on different patients. As a baseline, your assistant should be able to fine tune seat height and tilt — preferably between 60 and 90 degrees. Knobs and levers allow for this functionality.
Secondly, support is equally critical. Hygienists and dentists may spend hours per day on these stools, so ergonomic features are essential. Be sure to carefully consider which dental stool designs are best suited to various types of exams, treatments and procedures. Look for how the back curves, and look for arm and footrests and foam or gel cushioning. A lack of support places greater strain on your assistant’s or hygienist’s back and may require them to reach to get an ideal angle for procedures. In the long term, poor positioning can contribute to musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain.
Along with these aspects:
- Make sure the dental assistant chair with back support or stool you select allows them to sit in a neutral position.
- Look for a dental stool equipped with arm rests, as this allows for easier positioning.
- Consider lever and knob location: Your assistant should be able to reach these mechanisms with relative ease.
