♻️ What are we doing on Sustainability and my visit to Royal College
I arrived in Edinburgh once again, filled with anticipation for the annual conference at the Royal College of Surgeons. Stepping into the historical building, memories of my presentation on Sustainability in Dentistry for a Greener Future from the previous year flooded my mind.
This time, the theme revolved around Implementing Sustainability, marking a natural progression from the discussions held earlier. Throughout the day, I had the privilege of hearing passionate experts from various corners of the globe share their remarkable initiatives, each contributing to the goal of sustainable dental practices.
I had the opportunity to share my own journey towards implementing sustainability in my dental practice. My team and I actively incorporated eco-friendly materials and technologies, aiming to minimize our carbon footprint and waste production. By integrating digital record-keeping systems, energy-efficient appliances, and recycling programs, we successfully reduced our environmental impact while upholding the highest standards of patient care.
We would think of it as a first world problem, but we have suffered from floods and extreme temperatures, haven’t we? We have to think of the world as a one unit and actions of one individual can drastically affect the lives of another 1000 miles away.
The first step should be to be aware that every action of ours has an environmental footprint.
My wife's presence and support made the experience all the more meaningful, as we both absorbed the valuable insights shared at the conference, reinforcing our dedication to a greener future in dentistry.

My travel abroad was a business and leisure trip across Turkey and the UK. In our two weeks there we had to carry gifts for our friends, suits for my conference, and clothes to wear and camera equipment to capture all the memories.
We did the whole thing using only carry-ons. No checked-in luggage. All the airport transfers were so smooth and so quick. We could easily take metros and buses to and from the airport since we didn’t have a lot of luggage. We were able to visit so many cities without the hassle of managing all the luggage. This made our trip very comfortable and easy.
I’m going to list down important travel essentials that we had during our trip and how I totally recommend them all. I have attached some affiliate links where you can buy these as well.

🦷 Oral Hygiene Advice
While we are on the topic of sustainability, there is a very important device that can help reduce waste and also save a lot of toothpaste, and our money. It is a Toothpaste Dispenser. I did a challenge here where I squeezed the toothpaste to end.
I have sourced these from a local importer and so far they are working fine. You can buy them from my store here:
