NEW DELHI, India: While the effects of climate change on general health are well documented, its impact on oral health remains less explored. A new scoping review has assessed how environmental changes influence dental practices and oral health outcomes. The study suggests that climate change contributes to conditions such as dental caries, erosion and periodontal disease, as well as affects access to dental services. Addressing these challenges requires ongoing research, targeted intervention strategies and a critical review of current policies at the intersection of climate change and oral health, the authors said.
