Dental Waste Disposal
Responsible Solutions for Dental Waste Management
Dentist’s offices are just as likely to produce the same types of medical waste as any doctor’s office, blood bank, or surgery center. Several items used in dentistry can be defined as medical waste- and need to be disposed of properly.
