Hu-Friedy Manufacturing Company makes the tools that keep your chompers in good chomping order. In business since 1908, the company makes instruments that dentists and dental hygienists use to numb, probe, scrape, pull, and cut teeth and gums during dental visits. It also makes the Hu-Friedy Instrument Management System, an integrated system for sterilizing, storing, and organizing instruments. Its products -- many of which are hand crafted-- are used in general dentistry, as well as dental surgeries, orthodontics, and periodontics. Hu-Friedy sells its products to dental offices and dental schools both directly (in North America) and through equipment dealers worldwide.
