How do I go green?
Reduce
Take care of your teeth and gums. Brush at least a couple times a day and floss daily.
Reuse
It is simpler and more cost effective to reduce or eliminate the generation of waste.
Recycle
Many dental suppliers and manufacturers offer safe storage and return programs to ensure the potentially toxic bi-products of dentistry are properly disposed of or recycled. The CRD’s Source Control program has details on how dentistry offices can best comply with dental waste disposal.
