A trip to the dentist can be a terrifying prospect for a surprisingly large number of people.

Whether it’s the piercing whirr of the drill or the pungent smell of disinfectant, a whopping 25 per cent of Brits suffer some sort of uneasiness when they visit the dentist.

Whilst most dentists do their best to put anxious patients at ease, dentophobia is often the result of a particularly traumatic, difficult or painful experience.

For dentists, however, assuaging the fears of a fretful patient can be the least of their worries.

Considering your dental practice will produce an array of waste – from waste amalgam and spent capsules to bridges and crowns – it’s important this waste is placed into the appropriate container ready for disposal.
