Abstract
Eco-friendly dentistry often known as green dentistry, is a wellness-based dental practice that uses cutting-edge technology, conserves energy, money, and minimizes waste and pollution. In the course of their work, dentists employ a wide range of materials and tools, some of which could pose environmental risks. It is the duty of dentists to take several safety measures to guarantee that patients, employees, and the surroundings are safeguarded. Green dentistry increases the environmental awareness among dental professionals. This review article identifies the common wastes produced by dentistry and recommendations for reducing the environmental effect that can ensure patients as well as worker safety and prevent the risk of future liability which help in protecting our air, water and land.
