East Street Dental Practice.

Environmental Statement

We try to consider the environmental impact of our activities balanced against the need to do our job correctly.

We worry about

• our need to minimise cross infection means we use various single use products.

• soiled dressings are disposed of through a contract with SRCL. These are incinerated.

• mercury in amalgam fillings, but still use such as it is so durable.

We are better because

• we use a digital XRAY system whereby we don't create liquid waste of developer & fixer chemicals

• we are trying to use email more, thereby reducing paper usage.

• we recycle our shredded paper waste.

• we use products that can be recycled where a choice exists.

• we monitor our energy usage and look for ways to use less. Sadly our period building was built in a time before energy efficiency.

If you can think of any aspect of our business that we can make more environmentally friendly do let us know.
