And unless things have changed recently, the chairs and a lot of
the other equipment are almost certainly made by one of two
companies headquartered in Newberg, Oregon, USA.  Last I heard,
https://www.a-dec.com/ has about 90% of the worldwide dental
chair (and equipment) market, while https://www.dcionline.com/
has nearly all of the other 10%.  Some of my neighbors work at
A-dec.  So, thanks for keeping my neighbors employed!
