At Bio Protect we are always looking for more ways to change the environmental impact in our dental surgeries. The recent and increasing focus everywhere on the war on waste has many people trying to change their ways to do what they can to help reduce our toxic waste. We dispose of millions of toothbrushes every year, which end up in landfill or floating around in the ocean and ending up on our beaches and river banks. We can make a change by changing over to ecotoothbrush and make a real difference, with new technology in bristle manufacturing making it better for you and better for the environment. The brushes are great for you to put in your patient sample bags or have available on the counter. The toothbrushes are made up of bamboo charcoal enhanced bristles and MOSO bamboo handles- The toothbrush handle will disappear within a couple of years -which is far better than the hundreds or thousands of years for plastic. Snap off the head with the bristles and just throw the handle into the compost or bury it in the garden, or just throw it in the bin, either way it will disappear within a couple of years. new products from Bio protect Pro-Matrix Curve bands Ark Health offers new single use Pro-Matrix Curve bands Ark Health now offers two new single-use Astek Innovations Pro-Matrix Curve bands.
