Sustainability, food security, and human health. This study builds on previous research [1] and explores the role
of phytoremediation, a plant-based, eco-friendly strategy in mitigating heavy metal pollution to achieve Sus
tainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) while addressing its lesser-known implications for
oral and dental health. Through an analysis of seven key metals (copper, lead, zinc, iron, cadmium, arsenic, and
mercury), the study identifies 99 plant species classified by their lifespan, light, and water needs, emphasizing
perennials for large-scale remediation. Additionally, it highlights the impact of these metals on dental conditions
such as caries and enamel hypoplasia. By supporting the establishment of green belts around industrial zones,
this research integrates soil restoration with public health improvements, paving the way for future studies to
deepen the connections between environmental contamination, phytoremediation, and oral health.
