Dentistry has grappled with its ecological footprint like many other industries for years. With substantial waste generation and resource consumption, it has become crucial to find sustainable solutions without compromising the quality of patient care. Recognising this challenge, Davinder Raju, the founder of Greener Dentistry, envisaged a toolkit to break down sustainability into manageable steps.

The toolkit aims to empower dental professionals to positively impact the environment without adding to their already demanding workload. It guides dentists towards sustainability while maintaining their commitment to exceptional patient care by providing practical eco-initiatives.

The Greener Dentistry toolkit encompasses many sustainable practices, including reducing water and energy consumption, minimising waste production, and adopting environmentally friendly products. The best part is that the entire toolkit is entirely free for all dental professionals, ensuring accessibility for practices of all sizes.

By actively implementing the toolkit's recommendations, dental professionals can work towards achieving a certain level of sustainability. Once this achievement is reached, they become eligible for an accreditation award from Greener Dentistry. This mark serves as a tangible symbol of their dedication to sustainable practices, aiding in attracting environmentally conscious patients.
