Eco-friendly dentistry: not a matter of choice.

چکیده
Dr. Farahani prefers to use the term “ecofriendly” to “green” to describe his practice. While the definition of “green” is open to interpretation, he defines “eco-friendly” dentistry as an approach to dentistry that implements sustainable practices by keeping resource consumption in line with nature’s economy, by safeguarding the external environment through the elimination or reduction of outgoing wastes and by promoting the wellbeing of all those in the clinical environment by consciously keeping chemicals out of the air we breathe. “This is more than just recycling office paper and plastics, which is already happening in neighbourhoods across the country,” says Dr. Farahani. “It is about changing consumption patterns.”
