As a holistic dentistry practice in Washington, D.C., we have employed several eco-dentistry solutions in our office to provide a safe, environmentally friendly environment for our patients and our planet.
Eco-Dentists
Use Safer Digital X-Rays
Traditional X-rays can be dangerous to
people and the environment due to their levels of radiation. Digital X-rays
produce less radiation, less waste, and faster results to improve your dental
treatment and heighten your safety.
The
Importance of Amalgam Separators
Our office is equipped with amalgam
separators, which we use when removing amalgam fillings. These separators work
to dispose of mercury correctly and safely, while also keeping mercury and
other harmful deposits out of the local water sources and landfills.
The
Design of an Eco-Friendly Dentistry Office
There are many ways to use eco-friendly design solutions
to create a healthy
and efficient holistic dental office. We keep heating and cooling costs in
our office down by using window film to keep UV light out while also using
low-power light bulbs that use less energy than traditional bulbs. We even use
low VOC paint on the walls to keep fumes and other toxic materials from penetrating
our office. Our ceiling tiles are made of plastic bottles and our roof is
designed to reduce storm water runoff improve insulation measures.
