Eco-Dentistry is a form of dentistry that strives to give patients the highest level of care in a manner that also protects our environment as much as possible. Eco-Dentistry benefits the environment, the dental practice and even the health of the patient.
An EcoCertified Dentist must undergo multiple inspections every year to receive their certification. Dr. Subramanian has consistently passed these inspections for over five years, showing a lasting commitment to practicing effective green dentistry.
Green dentistry makes use of technology and innovative practices to provide dental services that have the smallest impact on the environment possible. A dentist who regularly practices green dentistry will save water and energy, reduce pollution and minimize waste. These will all result in an overall smaller carbon footprint left by the practice.
Green dentistry benefits the patient as well. For example, we steam clean our dental instruments in an autoclave. The alternative would be to clean them with harsh chemicals that would bring with them a negative ecological impact. Not only does steam cleaning prevent these chemicals from harming the environment, but it also prevents patients from being exposed to them. We also perform X-rays via digital imaging, which drastically reduces the patients exposure to radiation.
When you visit an EcoCertified dentist like Latha Subramanian, DDS, you can rest assured that you are receiving your dental care from someone who has gone to great lengths to practice safe, eco-friendly, green dentistry.
