Happy Earth Day! From your friends at Whole Earth Dental

We are living in an age with a renewed commitment to conservation, and are frequently reminded to recycle, reduce and reuse. Earth Day is today, April 22nd, and we thought this would be a great time to discuss Whole Earth Dental's commitment to environmentally sustainable dentistry.

Whole Earth Dental is proud to be one of Seattle's first environmentally sustainable dental offices. Together, as a team, we are committed to doing everything we can to reduce waste and our carbon footprint. Dr. Gutkin chooses to ride a bicycle and Dental Assistant Robin often walks to work. We've also implemented several systems that minimize our environmental impact, such as our triple-filtration vacuum system.

Did you know that we offer patients account access 24 hours a day, seven days a week? We offer convenient and secure online services with our patient login system. You can view all of your account information, and even receive appointment reminders through email or text messages. Since this information is submitted electronically, we eliminate the use of large amounts of paper and printing materials. Dr. Gutkin introduced recycling to the Magnolia Professional Building, which minimizes our office's overall ecological footprint. We also compost when possible.

Dr. Gutkin and our team would love to hear how you minimize your impact on the environment. Do you bike or walk to work, school, or your dental appointments? Leave us a comment below or you can also visit our Facebook page and post something on our wall.

Happy Earth Day!
