Today, we’re thrilled to share how our dental practice in Tunbridge Wells is leading the charge in sustainable dentistry.
Hello and a warm welcome to our valued patients and readers! Today marks a special moment for us at Tunbridge Wells Dental Practice. We’re incredibly excited to open the doors to our world of sustainable dentistry, a journey we are deeply passionate about. Nestled in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, our practice is more than just a dental clinic; it’s a hub where environmental care meets dental healthcare.
As a team, we’ve always believed that the health of our planet is as vital as the health of our patients. This belief has driven our commitment to sustainable practices, shaping every decision and action within our practice. We understand that our choices today profoundly impact our environment, and we’re dedicated to making choices that are kind, thoughtful, and sustainable.
So, let’s dive deeper into the heart of our practice and explore the various ways we are embracing sustainability.
At Tunbridge Wells Dental Practice, we believe in the power of recycling. From paper to plastics, we ensure that every recyclable item finds its way to a new life, reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources.
Single-use plastics are very common in dental practices. A lot of the time, it’s necessary to prevent cross-contamination. However, we are always looking for alternative solutions that are both healthy for our patients and the plant. Recently, we’ve switched to paper cups in all of our surgeries to reduce our use of plastics in the clinic.
Another scheme we have implemented is to shift from disposable items to reusable alternatives wherever possible. This includes using metal impression trays and glass cups in the reception area for water, significantly reducing our plastic usage and waste at the same time.
We maximise natural daylight in our facility, turning off artificial lights during the day. This saves energy and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere for our patients.
Our commitment to reducing paper waste is evident in our printing practices. By printing on both sides of the paper, we halve our paper usage, decreasing our environmental footprint.
Our dental practice takes pride in using recycled 3-in-1 tips, smaller microbrushes with reusable handles, and bio-based, fossil-free suction tubes. These choices reflect our dedication to sustainable dentistry.
Even our bathrooms showcase our environmental commitment with bamboo toilet rolls and plant-based floss sticks. These small changes contribute significantly to our eco-friendly mission.
Recognising that every aspect of dental hygiene can have an environmental impact, we’ve sourced and introduced a range of eco-friendly products for our patients including:
We’ve embraced technology to enhance our green efforts. From iPads for treatment plans, eliminating paper waste, to innovative dental products like sustainable toothbrushes, we’re at the forefront of eco-conscious dental care.
At Tunbridge Wells Dental Practice, we’re not just about healthy smiles but about a healthy planet. Our sustainable practices are a testament to our commitment to both our patients and the environment. Join us in our journey towards a greener, brighter future, one smile at a time!
