THE NEW NORMAL REQUIRES DENTISTS TO BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE

The Sustainable Dentist describes why and what the dental industry needs to do to become sustainable.

 

MONTEREY, California, JUNE 29, 2021—Sustainability practices across corporate America are anticipated to be on the rise in 2021. Sources like Engie Impact, a group formed to accelerate sustainability transformation, predicts the number one trend to be organizations confronting the scale of change to become sustainable. This trend is reflected in the new book titled The Sustainable Dentist – The New Normal by Beverly Oviedo-Allison and Marylou Shockley, PhD. The Sustainable Dentist touches on change management among many other environmental, economic, and policy-related issues required for a dental organization to adopt sustainable practices and procedures to successfully implement sustainability. 

 

As the year 2021 ushers in what many pundits call “green recovery” and the climate-focused Biden Administration implements new policies and regulations, dental organizations are being encouraged to join the revolution. The Sustainable Dentist defines and examines global sustainability while drilling down into the dental industry. It outlines historical perspectives and shares current intellectual capital on the subject, leadership mindset requirements, practice examples, techniques, and case studies designed to illustrate other dental organizations’ rollouts. Further, the book illustrates how the pandemic itself not only brought sustainability, health, and safety to the forefront of many dental industry professionals’ minds, but also shined a spotlight on the necessity to mitigate health risks by employing sustainable efforts.

 

Dr. Dave W. Chambers, professor and former Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Scholarship at

at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry - University of Pacific, writes in the book’s Foreword: “This is not a book about your saving the plan­et. There are no form letters to send to elected representatives or organizations to join or ad­dress groups that will accept your contributions. There is ample evidence that the world needs our help. Still, the intended readers are dentists – exquisitely trained to provide a range of oral health care and most likely get more satisfaction from doing this to a high standard than doing anything else they could think of doing. So, it is a book about being an environmentally friendly dentist, not an environmentalist.”

 

The Sustainable Dentist shares how dentists can be a part of the solution to something bigger than all of us

– a challenge facing humanity. As custodians of oral health who choose sustainability, dentists can take advan­tage of new business opportunities and move onto a larger stage to become leaders in global change, one practice at a time. Also, at this juncture in the global pandemic sustainability offers dentists a way forward to create what the book refers to as “Virus-Secure” zones so dentists expand their roles as custodians of oral health and safety while also becoming relevant participants in the community’s envi­ronmental and social well-being.
