It dates back to 2014, but your Georgetown dentist thought it was a good time to re-share some important information about Trade Winds Dental that not everyone, especially all of our new patients, might not even know about. Eight years ago, the Eco-Dentistry Association (EDA) recognized our office for its commitment to going green. We were the first dental office in Georgetown and Williamson County and only one of four offices in Texas to achieve GreenDOC™ Gold certification. Trade Winds Dental was proudly one of the first 100 practices in the world to accomplish this environmentally-friendly honor.
It’s About Our Green Dentistry Commitment to You and Your Community
Being one of the few Georgetown dental offices members of the EDA, we believe in applying the concepts of green dentistry and optimizing high-tech innovations to reduce waste and pollution, plus saving energy and water. We always bring comfort to patients, but we also strive to be gentle with our environment and community. This decreases our overall environmental impact and improves patient and team wellness with every business decision we make.
Do You Remember the Four “R’s”?
We believe environmental stewardship is an American tradition that dates back not only to the first European settlers but also to our Native American ancestors. In short, we believe in the four Rs:
- Re-think
- Reduce
- Re-use
- Recycle
A common-sense approach results in a healthier office space for patients and team members. Additionally, green dentistry can ultimately lower our business costs, which is a saving that can be passed on to patients in the form of more stable fees over time. But being “green” goes beyond the scope of thinking of our immediate surroundings and needs. It’s about doing what we can now to give everyone on this planet a better future. Visit our Georgetown dental office and find out for yourself.
We invite you to come to our dental office in Georgetown and see what we’re about for yourself. Bring your family in for a visit and join us in being a part of helping our environment and community staying green. We promise to continuously be looking for new and effective ways to reduce our office’s carbon footprint.
