The chairman of Dentists welcomed the success of the 15 th edition of the congress of the Order, which was held in the Vila da Feira. Orlando Monteiro da Silva highlighted the commitment of the guardianship, but warned that "lack democratize access to oral health."
The 5 500 doctors dentists who currently work in Portugal are, according to the head, "more than sufficient" to ensure the quality of the service: "It's one doctor for every two thousand Portuguese," stressed Orlando Monteiro da Silva in PRIMEIRO DE JANEIRO.

This is Portugal? It is the question because wherever you address the problem of oral health in Portugal, only show ideas for the future and almost always without any link. Most of it not required; what is needed is to make different policy, not cooperative and that is indeed focused on the real needs of the population. And, for that matter, why only 5 500 dental practitioners in Portugal, when we are in the tail of Europe?
