Module 6: Environmental Health

Welcome to Module 6: Environmental Health

This module introduces the concept of environmental health as it relates to oral health. It is designed to be interactive and highly visual, encouraging students to think critically about the intersection of oral health with environmental health, climate change, concepts of One Health, climate justice, global climate initiatives that relate to oral health and oral healthcare delivery, and ways in which we can take action to minimize or mitigate our impact on the environment.
