Kerr Dental, a leader in dental innovation, has introduced the ZenFlex One reciprocating files, a game-changer in root canal therapy. These advanced files are designed to enhance the endodontic experience for both practitioners and patients, ensuring optimal outcomes with minimal effort.

What Are ZenFlex One Reciprocating Files?

They utilize a reciprocating motion, which involves alternating clockwise and counterclockwise movements, allowing for efficient and safe canal preparation. This motion reduces the risk of file separation and helps maintain the original canal anatomy.

Bioactive Dental Materials

Bioactive dental materials represent a new frontier in restorative dentistry, offering enhanced therapeutic properties that promote natural tooth remineralization and repair. These advanced materials release bioactive ions such as calcium, phosphate, and fluoride, which interact with the surrounding tooth structure to stimulate remineralization and inhibit bacterial activity. From dental composites to cements and liners, bioactive materials are revolutionizing the way we approach restorative treatments, providing long-lasting benefits for patients' oral health.

Healthcare Supply Celebrates 30 Years!

     It’s kind of funny, when you celebrate a birthday or anniversary, what we consider a “big” year are normally the ones that end in zero!  After looking back on the last thirty years, wow, has it been a journey. Like a roller coaster of course, ups and downs, twists & turns, and of course sometimes feeling upside down.  But, in the end, we are better, stronger, and more resilient than ever. I, Andrew, have been working here at Healthcare Supply (HCS) for 14 years now, and couldn’t be happier. It’s amazing working for a company who appreciates their staff as much as their customers, and here’s my story.

     Starting my career at a young 15 years old, I always thought I was going to be a store manager at Publix Super Markets. Working my way up thro

What is an amalgam separator? An amalgam separator is a small piece of dental equipment attached to your main vacuum that separates the dental amalgam from other dental waste to keep the amalgam from ending up in our waterways.

When/ how often am I supposed to change the amalgam separator trap?

To be in compliance, the amalgam separator trap must be changed a minimum of once a year. In a busy practice, traps can be changed to upward of 3 to 4 times a year. Each refill cartridge has a ‘full line’ to let the office know when to change out their trap. Healthcare Supply, being highly concerned with its partners' compliance, offers automatic subscriptions to ensure you receive a new trap annually as a reminder to change it out.

Wondering about Cavitrons and Ultrasonic Scaling? First, let's clear something up. A Cavitron IS an Ultrasonic Scaling Unit, they are one and the same, which simply means they use water and vibrations to remove build-up in between and around your teeth at the gumline. Cavitron is just a name brand, manufactured by Dentsply Sirona, and just like Kleenex or Band-Aid Brand products, this means these are also some of the most expensive units and inserts on the market.

Let's Dig In!

Ultrasonic scaling units first need to be plugged into a power outlet and a water source. Power creates the energy for ultrasonic vibrations while a steady water stream aids the removal of debris simultaneously with the cleaning. Typically, the professional in the dental office using this equipment is the dental hygienist. This isn't to say dentists never use them, but it’s rare. Hygienists seem to be moving away from hand scaling with stainless steel instruments and working more w

School is out, the kids are home, and routine is thrown out the window. It is very easy for kids to “forget” to brush their teeth. Maybe after watching an extended amount of TV in the morning or sleeping over at a friend’s house, kids get too busy to remember. I remember when I was young and invincible, and my family took me on vacation. I never wanted to brush my teeth before going out for breakfast. Having that minty flavor overpower my orange juice

What is Retraction Paste & How Does it Compare to Packing Cord?

Retraction paste takes the place of packing cord or can be used in conjunction with cord. Considered to be easier, quicker and less painful for the patient than packing cord, retraction paste goes around the gingiva of the tooth and then the patient bites down on a retraction cap which each come in three sizes depending which tooth is being worked upon. 

Dental laboratories insist on some sort of retraction whether it be cord or retraction paste when taking impressions for precise procedures like crowns and bridges. When taking impressions for a retainer or night guard, retraction is not necessary.

Retraction paste is purchased either in a syringe or a compule. Premier Traxodent is one of the most popular options which comes in both the syringe and compule delivery system. Traxodent
