The contribution of dentistry for the health of the population is not limited in their exercise as a liberal profession.
The dentist will have to act in the future as an important agent for promoting comprehensive health, engaging actively in prevention, screening and treatment of all diseases that have to do with the welfare of patients, should be interested in the integration of its activities in local health facilities (health centers, hospitals, public or private), participating in and promoting meetings with other health professionals, particularly with the medical specialties that are closer (Dental, ENT, Maxillofacial Surgery face), but also family medicine or public health.
Only in this way may establish a closer collaboration with the entire medical community, with the ultimate objective treatment and welfare of patients.

At a time is so much talk of economic crisis and the increasing difficulties of the Portuguese in access to health care, it is worth remembering also that the Portuguese state has spent the past twenty years, hundreds of millions of euros to train dentists . The question is: how much you paid each Portuguese for the formation of many thousands of dentists and how many of them are now working on the National Health Service? May not know other country in the world where highly specialized human resources in the state invests tens of thousands of euros for their training, then do not have any use in the National Health Service. It's good to know who are really responsible for the disaster of oral health in Portugal, after many hundreds of millions of euros spent our taxes. It's time for some politicians begin to be held criminally liable for these policies.
