Abstract:
This study was aimed to introduce the dental education, practice and the health care system in Netherlands. The quality of dental education in Netherlands is quite high. There are three dental schools and recruit about 300 new students per year. Currently there are about 7623 dentists, 283 orthodontists, 203 oral surgeons, 8500 dental assistants and 2000 dental hygienists. In order to be a dentist, one needs to be registered in Individual Health Care Professions Act (BIG). Netherlands is also one of the leading countries in research on professional stress and burn-out in dentistry. This study summarized the main findings of research in this field. The refinement of the health care system in recent years in Netherlands has provided some insight and reference for the ongoing reformation and revolution of the public health system in China.
