Every year in Italy around 10 thousand young people, freshly graduated from high school, sign up for the entrance test for the faculty of Dentistry.
Of these, almost 9 out of 10 will soon have to abandon the dream of wearing a dentist's coat. These are young people who will have to reprogram their study plans, perhaps moving towards scientific faculties, such as biology, where on the contrary there is no pre-selective test.
Some of them will try to pass the test again the following year and in the best case scenario they will still have lost a year of studies.
Today however, and fortunately, there is a valid alternative for all these kids. An alternative that takes the form of the possibility of not abandoning one's dream and of following a Degree Course in Dentistry Abroad, in Bulgaria exactly, within the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the Sofia University.

Laura's Course in Dentistry at the University of Sofia has a duration of 5 years to which is added six months of internship which allows new doctors to put into practice the notions and techniques learned during the course. course.
Within the Degree Course in Dentistry at Sofia University it is also possible to specialize in the following sectors: Pediatric dentistry, Prosthetic dentistry, Oral surgery, Maxillofacial surgery, Dental implantology, Orthodontics, Periodontology and diseases of the oral mucosa , Social medicine and public health, General dentistry, Maxillofacial radiology and Oral diagnostic imaging.
Once graduated, new doctors can choose whether to remain in Bulgaria for a further period to specialize or whether to spend the newly obtained qualification in any of the EU countries where, it is always good to reiterate, the qualification is recognized without having to take supplementary exams.
Why in Bulgaria yes and in Italy no? Because in Bulgaria the pre-selective test for access to the Faculty of Dental Medicine is much simpler, costing only two sessions, one to test biology knowledge and one to test chemistry knowledge.
