Buying Dental SUPPLIES
When you do not have much money,
you must spend wisely. Dental
instruments are very expensive,
especially when you buy them at
commercial prices. Ask other health
workers in your area where you can get
instruments at lower prices. You can
also try contacting the national dental
association in your country. If you do not
know how to locate your national dental
association, contact the World Dental
Federation:

There are many organizations that
donate health supplies—including dental
instruments—or that distribute them at
low cost. Some of these organizations
prefer to help church-sponsored
health projects, but others will provide
instruments to anyone who needs
them.
Durbin PLC, a company in England, may
sell the instruments mentioned in this
book at lower than commercial prices.
