Sustainable dental care is more important than ever before. Not only is it good for the planet, but it's also good for your health. By making small changes in your daily routine, you can make a big impact on the environment. Join us as we discuss the importance of sustainable dental care and how you can incorporate it into your routine.
Did you know that toothbrushes take over 400 years to decompose? That's a long time for a single toothbrush to sit in a landfill. By switching to a bamboo toothbrush, as we discussed in our blog on the benefits of eco-friendly oral care products, you can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste you produce. Additionally, eco-friendly toothpaste options are becoming more readily available, such as toothpaste tablets or toothpaste packaged in glass containers.
Dental offices can also play a role in promoting sustainable dental care. Many dental offices are switching to digital x-rays, which use less radiation and eliminate the need for film and paper, as we discussed in our blog on tips for reducing waste in the dental office. Additionally, some offices are reducing their water usage by using waterless or dry vacuums, which can save up to 100 gallons of water per day.
By making small changes, we can make a big difference in the environment. We encourage you to make sustainable dental care a part of your daily routine and encourage others to do the same.
