RDH Clinical Recognition: Brittany Cox
I had the opportunity to chat recently with Brittany Cox, the November RDH Clinical Recognition honoree. Sustainability in dentistry is her passion. She shares that through her initiatives, and she wrote an article for RDH.
Her dental office is in the process of becoming more environmentally friendly, and she decided to share what they’re learning with her peers. She said it’s been an exciting journey, and it’s not as big a leap as many practices may believe. In fact, Brittany believes it’s a crucial step.
She discusses some of the steps offices can take, many as simple as placing recycling containers in the office to get you started. Hear why she’s so passionate about helping the environment in my chat with Brittany Cox.
