Dental Sharps – Dentists
Dentists generate a significant amount of medical waste that requires proper disposal, including sharps and biohazardous materials. Sharps refer to items like needles, scalers, burs, blades, and other instruments that could cause injury or spread infection if not handled correctly.
Dentists use sharps every day during procedures and they must be discarded in puncture-proof containers immediately after use. These sharps containers are picked up by medical waste disposal companies that incinerate the contents at high temperatures to destroy any pathogens or contaminants.
Dentists also generate other types of medical waste during procedures and cleanings like blood-soaked gauze, extracted teeth, gloves, and suction canister waste. These items are contaminated with bodily fluids and need to go into red biohazard bags and bins for disposal.
