The ever-increasing world population, uncontrolled developing industrialization, and urbanization mixing of harmful chemicals to the environment, water, and soil cause environmental pollution and increase environmental problems. Sustainability is ensuring the continuity of the diversity and productivity of the systems. Sustainability aims to transfer natural resources for the future generations. Because of rising financial costs, growing demand, and a high environmental burden, there is a risk that the current existing healthcare facilities will not be sustainable in the future. Dentists must understand the General Dental Council guidelines as well as the relationship between planetary and human health in their practice. The issues associated with global warming are becoming more widely recognized, but there is a lack of understanding about how to become more environmentally friendly. This study aims to eliminate this lack of understanding, raise awareness on this issue, open up a new horizon in every dentist and prevent environmental problems that we will encounter today and in the future. This study will inform dentists and dental students about examining the practices of our profession, both personally and professionally, in a way that contributes to the solution of environmental problems. It will also inform us about integrating sustainable development aims into everyday activities in the pursuit of a healthy life and prosperity for all at all levels of life.
