dental chair

Oral exam recliner

A dental chair is the reclining seat patients sit in during dental examinations and procedures.

It adjusts to position the patient at optimal angles for the dentist's access, typically with armrests, a headrest, and controls for raising, lowering, and tilting.

The term evokes routine anxiety: I hate being in the dental chair.
