Dental saddles are stools that are ergonomically designed for better comfort. These dental stools are used by dentists, hygienists and other staff when performing exams, cleanings and procedures. Saddle stools are designed to help prevent and alleviate lower back pain that may develop from the use of standard stools. They create a position in which the upper legs are sloped downward at a steeper angle so that the user is almost between a sitting and standing position. This tilts the pelvis to help maintain a neutral spinal posture.
