The re-elected today president of the College of Dental Association (OMD), Orlando Monteiro da Silva, has promised to negotiate with government reimbursement for a table that users of the National Health Service (SNS) may resort to private dental clinics.
In comments to Lusa news agency, Orlando Monteiro da Silva found that the National Health Service (SNS) has not been able to meet the needs of oral health among the Portuguese and he defended the need to create a system of reimbursement of medical acts by the state along the private.
We are interested in negotiating a schedule of repayments of some acts of dentistry on the SNS in private clinics, he said.

Oral Health gives congratulations to the reelection of Orlando Monteiro and wishes him a highly skilful work during his mandate at the helm of the Order of Dentists.
The coming years will be of immense work in the area of oral health in our country; oral health can not continue to be marginalized by the SNS and is only available to the privileged and ruling classes, accomplices of the state apparatus and party installed in power in Portugal.
Is an urgent need to extend access to oral health care to all portuguese, without any discrimination on grounds of social class or income, because, after all, we are all Portuguese, who pay the taxes for the training of dentists.
