Standard dimensions are 1.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in diameter, with jumbo, pediatric, tapered, and banded variants available. Critical performance properties include high absorbency (20-25x fluid weight), wet strength, and low-linting. Sterile rolls are required for surgical procedures contacting open wounds. Strict single-use protocol and careful count/retrieval are mandatory to prevent aspiration hazards. An indispensable, high-volume consumable in dental practice.

Dental Floss

$1.00
 Dental Floss is a thin, strong filament—available in materials like nylon or PTFE and forms such as waxed, unwaxed, or tape—designed specifically for the mechanical removal of dental plaque biofilm and debris from between teeth (interdental spaces) and below the gumline. Its daily use is a critical, evidence-based practice for preventing interdental tooth decay (caries) and gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), forming an indispensable part of a complete oral hygiene routine. Proper technique is essential to avoid gum injury and ensure effective cleaning.

Dental Napkins

$1.00
 Dental Napkins are sterile or non-sterile, disposable absorbent pads (typically 2"x2") made of non-woven cellulose or gauze. They are a fundamental consumable in dentistry used primarily for intraoral isolation and moisture control. By absorbing saliva, water, and blood, they keep the operative field dry, enhance visibility, protect soft tissues, and significantly improve patient comfort during procedures. Their secure placement and strict single-use protocol are critical for safety and infection prevention.

Dental Needles

$1.00
 Dental Needles are sterile, single-use hypodermic needles specifically designed for the administration of local anesthesia in dentistry. Characterized by their gauge (diameter) and length, they are selected to target specific nerves (e.g., long 27G for mandibular blocks, short 30G for infiltrations). Their primary functions are to penetrate oral tissue precisely, allow for aspiration to ensure safe extravascular placement, and deliver anesthetic solution. As sharps, their safe handling and immediate disposal in a designated container are paramount to prevent needlestick injuries and cross-contamination, making them a critical safety-focused consumable in dental practice.

Endodontic Files, Broaches, & Points

$1.00
 Endodontic Files, Broaches, & Points are the essential single-use instruments and materials for root canal therapy. Files (hand and rotary) clean and shape the intricate root canal system, while broaches remove pulp tissue. Gutta-percha points are then used with sealer to permanently obturate (fill) the canal, sealing it against infection. Made from stainless steel or flexible Nickel-Titanium, their use demands precision to avoid complications like instrument separation or canal perforation. Mandatory single-use and disposal, along with strict adherence to aseptic technique under rubber dam isolation, are fundamental to safe and effective endodontic treatment.

Glass Ionomer Cement

$1.00
 Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is a versatile, water-based dental material known for its unique ability to chemically bond to tooth structure and release therapeutic fluoride. Used for permanent cementation of restorations, as a filling material in low-stress areas, a cavity liner/base, and a fissure sealant, it promotes tooth health and minimizes recurrent decay. Available as conventional hand-mixed formulas and resin-modified light-cured versions, its success depends critically on proper moisture control during placement. Its biocompatibility, adhesion, and cariostatic properties make it a fundamental material in preventive and restorative dentistry.

Gutta Percha Points

$1.00
 Gutta Percha Points are cone-shaped, thermoplastic filling materials used as the core component for permanently obturating (filling) root canals after endodontic therapy. Composed of gutta-percha polymer, zinc oxide, and radiopacifiers, they provide a biocompatible, stable, and adaptable fill when used with a sealer. Available in standardized sizes and tapers to match prepared canals, they are employed in cold lateral or warm vertical compaction techniques to achieve a three-dimensional seal that prevents bacterial re-infection. Their correct selection and placement are critical to the long-term success of root canal treatment.

Handpiece Spray

$1.00
 Handpiece Spray is a specialized aerosol lubricant essential for the daily maintenance and sterilization of dental handpieces. Its primary function is to lubricate internal turbines and bearings, reducing friction, preventing wear, and ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
