The oral health came first priority as assumed by the Government in the report of the state budget for 2008 (OE2008) but still falls short of proposals made by the working group appointed by Correia de Campos to prepare the way of a policy for the sector . In a country without public provision of dental and where about half the population has no access to it for obvious lack of purchasing power, the inclusion of the topic in the budget is perceived as positive by the Order of Doctors Dentists (OMD). The report of OE2008 limited to advance the oral health as "priority area, particularly focused on preventing disease so that some segments of the population, particularly children, pregnant and elderly people with low incomes, have healthy teeth."
Certain is that this brief statement of intent not abides all the recommendations of the working group, which Correia de Campos has on his desk since June. Experts suggest the provision of care to more groups, including diabetics.
