Mark Garner emphasises the benefits of going digital in the dental practice.

Over 400m metric tons of paper are produced a year. On average, one standard pine tree can produce 10,000 sheets of paper, meaning the number of trees needed annually is in the billions. This is not sustainable. The increasingly digital world of the 21st century has lowered the demand for paper, but the volume of paper needed still shows one thing: more can be done.

A dental practice can use a lot of paper. As such, finding ways to offset the amount of paper needed by implementing more digital platforms can have numerous benefits for a practice. These include inciting a positive environmental change, being more cost-effective, and having a more efficient workflow.
