Our Office

We’re GREEN!

A “Green” office - it's a lifestyle— even small things make a difference!

We reduce/reuse/recycle:

• for regular office cleaning, we use products that are plant derived and biodegradable;
  we’ve switched to biodegradable disinfectants;
  
• the paper towels we use are made of recycled, non-chlorinated paper products;
  
• we use biodegradable cotton gauze rolls;
  
• we use as little plastic as possible;
  
• recently, we invested in a digital x-ray system that cuts the radiation exposure to 1/3 of what we had to use previously, and we eliminated the harsh chemicals that we had to use for developing conventional x-rays;
  
• we recycle paper, plastic, cardboard boxes and everything else we can;
  
• our office is heated and cooled with geothermal energy;
  
• we buy in bulk and refill smaller, reusable containers;
  
• we have an in-office air-filtration system; so the air quality in the office is excellent www.surgicallycleanair.com
  
• our practice is latex free to provide a safe environment for both patients and staff;
  
• we use biodegradable or reusable bags for our take-away hygiene products;
  
• we have an amalgam separator for water safety, so the amalgam does not get into the sewage;
  
• we clean and sterilize all our instruments using a washer (HydrimL110W), and steam-based sterilizers (Statim 2000 and Statim 5000)
