The recent discussion on dental care started me thinking, and I had
to again survey and inventory my supplies. My medical supplies are
in good shape but my dental supplies were sadly lacking.
Consisting of only Eugenol, temporary filling material and dental wax.
So I started by downloading "Where There is No Dentist" from
this site: http://www.inteldaily.com/.
It is on the right under free books. After reading a bit and seeing
the book advises the same tools as the previous post. I started searching
for dental tools. The auction sites, and supply houses have some high
prices. $45-to-$90 per tool. The frugal side of me overrode those prices
especially as I want to have multiple of each tool to outfit my kids
equipment in the future,
provide for barter, and prevent infection spread. So I found several
lower priced suppliers, [but] most in India or Russia, so shipping
killed those buys. I found this site http://www.excelinnovative.com With
much better prices and free shipping on orders over $80. They also
carry
medical and specialty
instruments at good prices. all of us should have the tools and supplies
to care for our families, we should have the knowledge, at least in
a
hard copy book and the will to do what needs doing to survive.
As an aside: With the kids getting older and us considering moving
to the country full time, the long term stocking of supplies and equipment
really scares me as far as having to move it from the exurbs to the
boonies. I guess I shall have to buy several CONEX containers
and move them
to the middle of nowhere to get just my home supplies there. Oh well,
live and learn. - Tip in Lost Wages
