Since September that users of the Health Center of Aveiro not have at their disposal the services of a dentist. The professional retired and its replacement is not forthcoming, the second found JN. The retirement of medical dentist last September that service the health center of Aveiro, left users with no possibility of recourse for the provision of oral health care, for acute patients.
The solution to remedy the lack of health care now, was second in charge of the Health Center of Aveiro, João Terrível distribution of "dental checks" for the elderly and pregnant and contracting with physicians, dentists and private dentists. "The acute patients will have to resort to private services," said JN, João Terrível that lessened the effects of lack of dental services in Health Center.
"She had a schedule of twelve hours per week, so not many users who had," said the Director of Public Health Center Aveiro who recalled that unit in the health service has a dental hygienist. "We are trying to solve the problem and is being equated a solution, either way will never be found in the short term but the medium term," said JN.

It is absolutely shameful oral health policy followed in Portugal. This example clearly shows the attempt by the Ministry of Health in destroying the little that will still exist in the care of the population.
Between promises and actions left a bad faith and settlement, by the Government, the oral health care provided by the National Health Service, something unthinkable during the dictatorship that existed in Portugal before 1974.
There is courage and report the situation, because the taxes that each of us paid (whether rich or poor) for the training of dentists in Portugal can not then revert solely on the benefit of the social class of high yields, which can pay for private consultations. Unfortunately (why?), The Order of Dentists seems to be deaf before such a serious attack on the country's population perpetrated by this government.
