ChairsideSource exists because dental equipment information online is either written by people who've never disconnected a chair, or locked behind a sales call.
This site is built and maintained independently, drawing on hands-on experience in dental equipment liquidation and resale — sourcing, evaluating, disconnecting, and reselling equipment for practices across the Midwest. That real-world work is where the pricing data, buying guides, and equipment checklists on this site come from.
We're not affiliated with the American Dental Association, the official Dental Admission Test (DAT), or any equipment manufacturer named on this site. Course completion certificates issued here confirm that you finished the material — they are not accredited professional certifications.
A free resource for dental students, hygienists, and practice owners who want straight information about equipment and DAT prep, plus a straightforward marketplace to buy and sell used dental equipment without inflated middleman pricing.
Reach out through the marketplace posting form or your usual contact channel — we read everything.
