Where bright, white smiles can also be green!
Halloran Dentistry fosters an environment that will allow us to live well today while helping future generations live well tomorrow. We consider ourselves environmental stewards of the green healthcare movement; each step we take leads to a healthier workplace, a healthier public, and a healthier planet.
Creating a Circular, Sustainable System
Green dentistry has a goal to reduce its carbon footprint on the planet. We hope to accomplish this by using recyclable, non-toxic materials and utilizing strict guidelines for material disposal. Practicing green dentistry is a choice we make to help protect our environment from harmful toxins, eliminate waste, and provide healthier treatment for your dental needs.
- Our newly remodeled facility was designed using energy-efficient lighting, refurbished furniture, low VOC paint, and energy efficient appliances.
- Non-toxic alternatives, such as digital X-ray machines and steam sterilization, eliminate toxic by-products.
- We’ve reduced our paper consumption by implementing a computer scanning system for patient records.
- Eliminating the use of mercury fillings in favor of composite fillings helps to reduce the amount of mercury released into the city’s water system.
- From the supplies in our break room to the recycled toothbrushes you get when you leave our office, we use recycled or re-usable products wherever we can.
These are just a few examples of the many ways we’re trying to do our part to make sure future generations will have a healthy, safe planet. You can do your part, too. Remember: reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink!
