The path to becoming a dentist is via a scientific Baccalaureate and then the Faculty of Medicine. After a first year of study in general medicine, the student will have to pass the PACES exam (first common year of health studies) to be admitted to the second year and then follow the remaining 5 years of specialised studies which will enable him to obtain the State diploma of dentist. A longer course of study after the 5th year allows the student to obtain the diploma of dental surgeon after writing and defending a thesis.

Throughout the consultation, he must reassure his patients while advising them so that they always have a good oral hygiene.
