Module 4: Purchasing and Inventory Management
4.4 Dental Supply Sources


In large metropolitan areas, dental supplies can often be purchased from dental supply houses. Advantages of purchasing from local dental supply houses include quick delivery and personalized service. However, dental supplies ordered from mail-order catalogs may be less expensive. Large mail-order houses frequently offer a large selection and low prices. For information about dental supply houses, view the member directory on the Dental Trade Alliance Web site.

Tip

Check your telephone directory to see which dental supply companies are near your clinic. A list of mail-order houses can be obtained by typing the term “dental supplies” into any Internet search engine.
