Dentistry is the area of health responsible for caring for one of the most beautiful expressions: the smile. Much more than functionality and health, oral care is related to people's self-esteem and well-being. The PUCRS Dentistry course is among the best in Brazil and has a complete structure that offers all the support you need for your professional development. Here, you will find laboratories and outpatient clinics with the most modern equipment on the market where practical classes and community service are held. Our professors are references in their fields and are highly qualified to transmit all the knowledge necessary for your training.
Graduates of the PUCRS Dentistry program are qualified to plan, propose, execute and evaluate oral health projects and treatments, with sensitivity and competence to interact with their patients, while maintaining an ethical, supportive and entrepreneurial attitude. You will be able to work in the coordination and execution of educational, preventive and rehabilitative actions in oral health, in the management of dental services, in the coordination of projects and management of health systems and in dental offices and clinics, both in the public service and in private institutions.
Can you relate to this and are you already imagining your day-to-day life on the course? Find out more details and come study at PUCRS.
