Top Sustainable Operational Practices
Amalgam separators
Dental offices continue to be the largest
contributors to mercury levels in local water
systems-up
to 14% in one
study. Reduction
of mercury can
a lso be supported by using
mercury-free
materials such
as porcelain, composites, glass and gold. Late
in 2017 the EPA issued a final regulation
regarding the handling of dental amalgam
waste. The new federal rules will require
most U.S. dental offices to use a qualifying
amalgam separator and comply with industry best management practices to reduce
amalgam waste before 2020.

Paperless digital
patient workflows
Including electronic record systems,
claim submission, automated appointment
reminders and confirmations together with
email or online scheduling requests can
result in significant cost savings associated
with reductions in paper and plastic office
supplies, and team member time managing
the retrieval and storage of paper charts.
Plus, there can be an increase in effectiveness
when coordinating clinical care, treatment
planning and after-care follow-up. Digital
patient-intake forms online and in office with
tablet or signature pads enhance the patient
experience and can align with the expectations
of younger members of your practice accustomed to electronic forms of communication.
Dental vacuum systems can be large
consumers of water on a daily basis. Wet
dental vacs in dental offices use approximately
2 gallons per minute, or 200,000 gallons
per year. Advanced dry vacuum systems
can be used to markedly reduce total water
consumption-and
doctors benefit from
reduced water costs
that could average
several thousand
dollars or more per
year.
Simple recycling and water
reduction programs
All dental offices can participate in
local curbside or commercial recycling
prog ra m s. Paper
or plastic drinking
and mixing vessels
can be replaced with
reusable glass or steel
products. TerraCycle
of fers a persona l
oral-products recycling program that
offices can in turn invite their patients
and the general public to participate in,
increasing exposure to their office and
generating goodwill.
Digital X-rays
Transitioning
from conventional
X-r ay s y stem s
to digital imagi n g te c h nolog y
eliminates toxic
chemicals, paper, plastics and lead foils, in
addition to exposing patients to 70-90%
less radiation. Annual operational savings
also include reductions in team member time
processing and prepping X-rays, together with
reductions in harmful chemical exposures.
