458. Dentists applaud new rules for licensing of clinics

The Dental Association (O.M.D. in portuguese) has come this Wednesday, the public, praising the new rules for licensing of dental clinics, which are deemed an important tool to combat the illegal practice.

The OMD welcomes the publication of this legislation that will enable the public to identify the sites properly licensed, ensuring thus the quality and safety of health services, says the institution said in a statement quoted by the online edition of i. This legislation will also be important in combating the illegal practice, since these situations are more easily identifiable, doing justice to the overwhelming majority of dentists who meet all the requirements for a safe delivery of the acts of dentistry.

At issue is the decree 268/2010 on the Decree-Law No. 279/2209 of 6 October that, among other things, require them to be placed in a prominent public opening hours, the name of medical director the procedures to be adopted in emergency situations and the rights and obligations of users and should still be available for consultation to price list.

Great, the oral health needs and needs to evolve in our country. Hopefully now also for legislation that would rectify the activity of all oral health professionals in Portugal, periodically assessing their needs and exercise professionals to acquire new knowledge and professional improvement.
