You might not think the average dental practice produces much waste, until you consider the volume of water used during treatments, the dozens of latex gloves needed for sanitary purposes, and the large amount of hazardous materials from toxic metals and X-ray developing solution. Looking more closely, it’s easy to see that traditional dentistry is not the most eco-friendly business, which is why our staff at Yakima Dental Team has built a network among green dentists in Yakima, WA.

These are the dentists who have taken the important steps needed to make their practice as environmentally friendly and green as possible. These might include instituting an aggressive recycling plan for all office materials that cannot be reused, switching to steam for instrument sterilization to avoid the use of chemicals, or providing for the proper disposal of toxic metals such as mercury-based amalgam fillings. This eco-friendly approach puts these Yakima dentists at the forefront of the green revolution of the dental industry.

If you are concerned with environmental issues, show your support for advancing the green cause by contacting Yakima Dental Team and we will happily put you in contact with a green dentist in Yakima, Union Gap, or Selah.
