General Dentistry

General dentistry supplies are the everyday consumables, protection, and instruments a clinic uses across routine restorative, diagnostic, and preventive care. Waldent's general dentistry range covers infection-control PPE, rubber dam isolation, BARC-approved radiation protection, diagnostic hand instruments, and chairside equipment — everything needed to run day-to-day appointments.

Frequently asked questions

1. What supplies does a general dentistry practice need?

A general dentistry practice needs infection-control PPE, rubber dam isolation, radiation protection, diagnostic hand instruments, and chairside equipment. Together these cover daily examination, restorative, and preventive appointments — gloves and barriers for every patient, a basic mirror-explorer-probe set, dam isolation for fillings and root canals, and lead shielding for radiographs.

2. What is the difference between latex and nitrile examination gloves?

Latex and nitrile examination gloves differ in material and suitability. Latex gloves offer excellent fit and tactile sensitivity but can trigger allergies, while nitrile gloves are latex-free, more puncture- and chemical-resistant, and a safer choice for clinicians or patients with latex sensitivity. Both are single-use and powder-free options.

3. Are Waldent lead aprons BARC approved?

Yes. Waldent lead aprons and thyroid shields are BARC-approved for dental radiation protection and are supplied genuine through waldent.com and authorised dealers. They shield the operator and patient during intraoral and panoramic radiography, and bulk pricing is available for clinics and dental colleges.
