The relationship between climate change and dentistry is a critical area that highlights the need for the dental profession to integrate sustainability into its practices. Climate change impacts every aspect of life, including health, and the dental field is no exception. The environmental footprint of dentistry, from the use of materials and energy consumption to waste production, contributes to the broader issue of environmental degradation. Recognizing this, it is essential for dental professionals to adopt more sustainable practices that reduce their impact on the environment. Dental practices play a key role in mitigating climate change by reducing waste, conserving energy, and using eco-friendly materials, which lowers the environmental impact of care. These efforts not only combat climate change but also foster healthier communities. Climate change is affecting oral health, with shifts in weather and extreme events increasing dental disease risks, especially for vulnerable populations. This highlights the need for equitable dental care, ensuring everyone has access to necessary treatments and resources amid these challenges.
