I congratulate the Portuguese authorities and the Order of Dentists; need greater oversight of activities related to dentistry in our country, to ensure absolute security and assurance of medical care to all patients. Criminals who want to serve their sentences in full and those who are aliens should be required to leave the country later.
It is very urgent that the Order of Dentists establish partnerships with their foreign counterparts to regulate the entry of foreign dentists in our country.
