Sustainable dentistry is an emerging trend that strives to balance dental care with environmental responsibility. It encompasses practices such as reducing plastic use, implementing energy-efficient technologies, and choosing eco-conscious materials. For example, many dental offices now use digital X-rays to minimize waste and improve patient safety, while some practitioners choose biocompatible filling materials and eco-friendly sterilization methods. Additionally, sustainability extends to patient education, encouraging the use of products like bamboo toothbrushes and toothpaste tablets that have a smaller environmental footprint. Through these efforts, sustainable dentistry aims to create a lasting impact on both oral health and the planet, ensuring a cleaner, greener future for all.
