Background/Objectives: Climate change is a major global issue affecting all facets of society, including dentistry. In response, the idea of green dentistry has developed, prioritising the reduction in environmental damage and the protection of patient health. This scoping review seeks to assess the level of awareness, understanding and practices of oral health professionals concerning the proper management of biomed. Methods: Searches were carried out in the Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, analysing studies published between 2020 and 2025. Out of a total of 822 articles, 27 met the eligibility criteria. Results: In most of these studies, the respondents’ level of knowledge was found to be unsatisfactory or average, and only 17% of the studies reported respondents having a positive attitude towards adherence to sustainability principles. Although many professionals stated they were aware that dental waste could negatively impact the environment and human health if not properly managed, some still failed to provide correct answers to all the questions. Conclusions: The synthesis results indicated that oral health professionals have significant gaps in certain aspects of biomedical waste management, highlighting the need for proper training and to supplement the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula with courses on this topic.
