I want to practice Dental Therapy. Which countries recognise dental therapy?!
Question: I am from the U.K and my sister has recently qualified as a dental hygienist/therapist a new dual qualification which not only covers dental hygiene but allows her to do restorations on children and adults and take radiographs and extract baby teeth. I believe that there are several countries in Europe which practice dental therapy as well as australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada. The remit for Dental Therapy does vary from country to country though and sometimes if already qualified in one country further exams may be required to practice elsewhere. Dental Therapists are greatly underused in the U.K but have a very valuable role to play in dental practice. Good Luck in your future career.

Doesn't your country recognise dentistry?
Where are you from anyway?
Is that just talking to teeth?
