Dentists trained in Australia must meet the entry requirements of an Australian institution that offers a dental program, and then complete the required full-time academic training leading to a dentist degree. If the dentist wants to specialize, they should complete additional studies after having clinical experience.

To practice dentistry in Australia (as of July 2010) you must obtain registration and permissions from the Australian National Dentist. Generally, the only person directly eligible to apply as a dentist is a person who holds DDS, BDS, BDSc, BDent, BDentSc, DMD, MDent or GradDipDent qualifications from an accredited Australian and New Zealand university.

Brazil

The first step to becoming a dentist in Brazil is to take 10 subjects (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Literature, one of the 5 major languages ​​offered by institutions, Portuguese, History, Geography and Essays) which may be compared to the SAT in the US. This examination varies from institution to institution; However, odontology is one of the hardest courses to receive and most students come from the upper classes because of the difficulty levels and steep tuition fees. Students must complete a 5 year Dental Surgery Bachelor (B.D.S.). The Kapit skills program as a Post graduation is required in different dental areas that take between 2 and 3 years (D.D.S). University of Dental care is provided by the private and public sectors. The course conclusion should be registered and licensed by the Brazilian Dental Council that is nationalized so that students obtain a Dentistry Certificate. However, private clinics are the most common place a person will visit if a dentist is needed. Currently, the private market is dominated by large companies that employ newly graduated dentists. Nevertheless, there are thousands of small clinics scattered across the country. The practice of dentistry in Brazil is overseen by CFO Conselho Federal de Odontologia , a federal entity that coordinates 27 state bodies. The institute has 340,000 registered dentists and 191 universities and/or colleges in Brazil. Brazil has been a leading international country in various fields such as International Dentistry Research, Implantology, Periodontics, Endodontics, Protestant, Aesthetic Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, and Orthodontic Jaw Orthopedics, Oral & amp; Maxillofacial Surgery. The Department of Dentistry of Brazil is growing, across the country, many innovative techniques and Dental Research are related to various aspects; Universidade of SÃÆ'Â £ Paulo Paulo FOB/USP Pediatric Dentistry Research Department recently developed a remarkable study related to the "Study of the effects of Photodynamic Antimicrobial Chemotherapy on Streptococcus mutans" on the survival of planktonic cells and S. mutans UA159 biofilms, to test the effectiveness of the biofilm model in evaluating the demineralization process.

Canada

Dental practice in Canada is supervised by the National Dental Association Examination Board of Canada (NDAEB), while specialization is supervised by the Royal College of Dentists. Today, Canada has about 16,000 dentists. Canadian dentistry is not run publicly (see Medicare (Canada)); however, some provinces [1] provide free dental care for children and the elderly. Other Canadians are mostly protected by workplans at work, but many have to pay for themselves.

For much of the early period of colonial dentistry was a rare and unusual practice in Canada. In severe situations, the barber or blacksmith will pull teeth, but for many years Canada lags behind the progress of Europe. The first dentist in Canada was the United Empire Loyalists who fled the American Revolution. The first registered dentist in Canada was Mr. Hume advertised in the Halifax newspaper in 1814.

During the first half of the 19th century, dentistry grew rapidly. In 1867, the Ontario Dental Association was formed and in 1868 they established Canada's first dental school in Toronto, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario. The University of Toronto agrees to affiliate with the dental school. As time passes, other Canadian universities also make dentistry programs. However, the University of Toronto still has the largest dental school in Canada that has the most graduate research opportunities as well as certification for all dental specialties. UBC Faculty of Dentistry supports five special programs: Prosthodontics, Endodontics, Orthodontics, Pedodontics and Periodontics.

Dental care is not covered by Canada's health care system, as in many other countries with public health care, although general dental services have long been provided for certain population categories. Nevertheless, research has estimated that at least 6 million Canadians avoid going to the dentist because of the cost.

A 3 - 4 year specialization program (entry through the competition) is possible after a minimum of 3 years of work experience has been completed. The first dental school was established at Universidad de Chile in 1888. Other institutions providing professional dental education in Chile were Universidad Austral de Chile since 2004, Universidad de Concepción since 1919, Pontificia Universidad CatÃÆ'³lica de Chile (since 2009), Universidad de ValparaÃÆ'so since 1952, Universidad de la Frontera (since 1992), Universidad de Talca, which is the state university, and the following private universities: Universidad Finis Terrae, Universidad Nacional AndrÃÆ'Â © s Bello, Universidad Mayor, Universidad de los Andes, Universidad Diego Portales, Universidad del Desarrollo, Universidad San SebastiÃÆ'¡n and Universidad de Antofagasta. Having been influenced for decades by Europe (mainly from German-speaking countries) and dentistry of North America, dental education and practice in Chile has now reached the level and self-benefits of top-level institutions, professors and practitioners. Research has grown quickly and many articles find their way into international publications.

The Ministry of Public Health plays an important role in dental work planning for community dental services. The Thai Dental Council, the Ministry of Public Health and the School Dental Consortium work together to promote scientific-based medical education. In addition, the Thai government is more concerned with the dental health of its citizens.

In 2007 the number of Thai Dentists in the workforce was 7175,2093,1400 and 76 for dentists, dental nurses, chairs assistants, and laboratory technicians.

United Kingdom

Education and registration

In the UK, dentists complete 5 years of undergraduate studies to earn B.D.S. or BChD degree. After graduation, most dentists will go to V.T. (Vocational training scheme), with a length of 1 or 2 years, to receive their full National Health Service registration. Dentists must register at G.D.C. (General Dental Council), and fulfill their requirements as a governing body of profession, before being allowed to practice. The Dentists Act 1957 defines dentistry with the aim of restricting dental practice to those listed on the Dental List. This provides the following definition: "For the purposes of this Act, dental practice shall be deemed to include the performance of such operations and the provision of treatment, advice or attendance as is usually done or provided by the dentist."

There are sixteen dental schools in the UK, five of which are postgraduate courses, only accepting applicants with at least a top 2.1 in a bachelor degree classified with a significant component of biomedical science. Thus the competition of the place is very tight (about 1 successful candidate received in every 26 applicants in 2013). Due to the low number of dental schools, funding for building and service development in schools can be very high. Well-known universities in the UK providing dental programs are University of Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, Cardiff, Queen's Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Dundee, Manchester, Plymouth, Sheffield, Queen Mary, London and King's College London. In 2013, the only UK university offering a 4-year BDS graduate program is Liverpool, King's College London, BLSMD, UCLan, and Aberdeen.

Dentists may perform work under the National Health Service or in person. Maybe choose one of these alternatives, or both.

In the United States dentistry is generally performed by dentists who have completed professional post-graduate education. This has resulted in a high quality of care. With only a few exceptions, there is no government-sponsored health care program such as Medicare or Medicaid that includes routine dental care.

Dental education in the United States

There is limited opportunity for dental education in the United States with only 4,440 passing in 2003, down from 5,750 in 1982. There is little or no movement on the part of the American Dental Association, ADA, or states to expand dental education. Due to the required direct training, dental education is expensive and not subsidized by the federal government. The average graduate of a dentist with more than $ 400,000 in debt.

In the United States, dentists produce D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or D.M.D. (Doctor of Dentistry). There is no difference in training for that degree. The degree is equivalent, and is equally recognized by all state dentistry boards. There are 56 dental schools accredited in the United States that require 4 years of postgraduate study (except for one unique 3-year program at the University of the Pacific) [10]. Most applicants to the dental school have reached at least B.S. or B.A. The degree, however, is a small percentage earned after only meeting certain prerequisite courses. So unlike many other countries (other than the US, Canada, and Australia), it usually takes more than 8 years to become a dentist. (List of dental schools in the United States) The difference is related to the history involved in the distribution of medicine and surgery in medical practice.

Licenses are held at three levels in most areas. Many dentists must pass through the National Council, the Regional Council, and then take the jurisprudence examinations received by their country to fulfill their requirements to obtain state licenses. Not all countries require or even accept regional councils. Although state licenses apply only in the issuing country, because the regional board of dentists may be able to apply for licenses in other countries within the jurisdiction of their regional councils. There are many inter-state cooperation agreements that allow the recognition of licenses of other countries to obtain licenses either through "licensing by credentials" or "licenses by reciprocity." Although the national licensing exam has not yet been drawn up, the American Dental Association (ADA) has worked with education and examined the group to form such a test.

A dentist may continue for further training in dental specialization requiring an additional 1 to 7 years of post-doctoral training. There are 9 recognized dental specialties. These include Endodontics (root canal pathology), Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Child Dentistry, Periodontics (gums), Prosthodontics (Orthodontic Reconstruction), Orthodontics (Mouth Moving), Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Oral and Facial Surgery ), and Community Dental Health. There is no specialization in aesthetic or implantology dentistry, and no additional training is required for a dentist to make claims as an aesthetic or cosmetic dentist. Dentists are prohibited from claiming that they are specialists in practice where no recognized specialty is recognized. They can limit their practice to a single area of ​​dentistry, and claim that their practice is limited to that area.

Each general dentist can perform the procedure specified in the mentioned specialization if they consider themselves competent. Many general dentists are trained in certain aspects of the above specialties such as placement and recovery of dental implants, advanced and endodontic prosthodontics, and restrict or limit their practice to this area. When a general dentist performs any procedure that belongs to the area of ​​specialization, they are expected to perform with the same level of expertise as a certified specialist and legally held to such a standard in relation to the malpractice issue.
