  1. Reduction in the use of disposable plastics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of the main challenges in dentistry is the large amount of single-use plastics. To reduce this impact, in the\u00a0Tropicana Medical Center<\/strong>\u00a0We use reusable materials whenever possible and promote the use of biodegradable materials in our dental treatments.<\/p>\n\n
