 Digital X-rays- Going digital eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals. It also eliminates the need for the plastic casing, cardboard paper and most important, the lead lining to the x-ray film!- Emailing X-rays to dentists and specialist. Most offices still send cellulose x-rays and printed photos by conventional mail. Emailing x-rays and photos eliminates the need for paper and stamps which saves a tree.
- Paperless charting- We no longer buy thousands of chart holders, paper treatment cards, plastic sleeves for the charts, metal clips for the charts, and plastic file letters.
- We have recycling bins in all parts of our office for paper and plastics.
- We stopped using paper cups and paper plates in our staff lunch room
- We recharge empty toner cartridges
- We switch from “wooden nickels” for our patient motivation program to metal coins that can be disinfected and reused when they are returned- saving more trees.
- We now print our Christmas/holiday card and hand them out to our patients instead of mailing in an envelope with a stamp. This saves paper.
- We turn computer workstations off at night
- Dr. Sessions drives a scooter to work during the good sunny days late Spring to Fall
