Abstract
The impact of human-induced global warming is a present issue. The health and social care system is associated with significant use of resources and carbon emissions. The Greener NHS Programme is dedicated to promoting methods that enhance patient care while minimizing the healthcare industry's environmental impact. This article summarizes the evidence for the environmental sustainability of using the fluoride prevention methods that are recommended by the Department of Health. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The sustainability of the use of fluoride in the prevention of caries is an issue to consider.
