Environmental awareness is directly associated with social responsibility. The GREEN DENTIST can make volunteers of project DENTIST FOR GOOD and the entire deontological community notice the importance of the environment issues. Therefore, TdB under voluntary environmental consulting of the environmentalist Fábio Feldmann developed the Green Dentist Manual.

Our challenge with the publishing is to encourage the critical look, capable of questioning old habits, finding clever ways to connect us with the environment around, and reduce the environmental fate of our professional activity.

Another goal of this project is to encourage dentists to take advantage of their position as opinion makers to influence the patient on the importance of selective collection. He will even encourage the practice in their own office, collecting empty tubes of toothpaste and worn-out­­­­­ tooth brushes.

The result of the first collection will be destined for the construction of a sculpture made by the voluntary painter Vik Muniz to stimulate reflection of the society over the litter production.
