Consumers Demand A Different Type of Dental Healthcare

Nowadays, you hear the term “green” used all the time.  This term can refer to a lot of different things ranging from organic foods to energy conservation initiatives.  So what exactly is “green dentistry“?  According to the Eco Dentistry Association (EDA), “Green dentistry is a high-tech approach that reduces the environmental impact of dental practices and encompasses a service model for dentistry that supports and maintains wellness.”

Green dentistry is focused around four major components including the following:

• reducing waste and pollution
• conserving the earth’s natural resources by saving water, energy and money
• using high-tech innovations that benefit both patients and the planet
• supporting a wellness lifestyle with a focus on prevention

Today’s consumers are more sophisticated than in the past and are looking for more environmentally conscious goods and services.  And, more and more patients are looking for a different type of dentistry: one that is focused on wellness and prevention and is environmentally conscious.  Dentistry they can feel good about all around.
