Dental Waste Management FAQs
What types of dental waste require separate handling and disposal?
Dental waste that may contain blood, chemical disinfectants, amalgam waste, or hazardous materials must be separately handled and disposed of. Dental offices may also generate pharmaceutical waste and sharps that require specialized waste disposal services.
Why is amalgam waste regulated in dental offices?
Amalgam waste is regulated because it may contain mercury and other hazardous materials. Proper dental waste disposal helps prevent contaminants from entering wastewater systems and supports compliance with EPA dental amalgam separator requirements.
Can extracted teeth be disposed of in regular trash?
Extracted teeth containing amalgam fillings should not be placed in regular trash. BioServ can help you properly manage extracted teeth and related materials according to applicable environmental and medical waste regulations.
What types of facilities must comply with federal dental waste regulations?
Dental offices, oral surgery centers, orthodontic practices, dental schools, and mobile dental clinics must comply with federal dental waste regulations.
