Sustainable Dentistry: Making a Difference

About this episode

This episode discusses sustainable dentistry and its importance in reducing the environmental footprint of the dental profession.

A comprehensive BDJ Clinician’s Guide focused on sustainable dentistry, edited by Brett Duane and produced in collaboration with the British Dental Association. It addresses the urgent need for the dental profession to reduce its environmental footprint, noting that healthcare systems significantly contribute to global carbon emissions. The source outlines practical strategies for improvement, including waste management, energy efficiency, and the promotion of preventative care to minimize clinical interventions. It also details the use of Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) to measure how dental practices impact both planetary and human health. Ultimately, the guide serves as a technical and ethical roadmap for clinicians to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors across all aspects of oral healthcare.
