McGill University researchers are calculating the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences’ carbon footprint to help it become fully sustainable. The project evaluates carbon emissions for all aspects of dental care, including travel, single-use plastics, and electricity, while reimagining the patient experience. After the assessment, the faculty will receive policy change recommendations from a special committee. “I want to spark a global reflection,” said McGill Professor Christophe Bedos. “I want to share our findings and engage the broader dental community to identify targets we can set to drive real, sustainable change.”
