Dentists

The Health FPS is responsible for the various administrative aspects related to the profession of Dentist. The FPS is the preferred contact body for matters with regard to:

- the administration of the Dentistry Council

- the secretariat of the Recognition Commission and the Provincial Medical Committees

- the administrative follow-up of traineeships, in cooperation with the National Service for Health and Disability Insurance (RIZIV/INAMI)

- maintaining the recognition as Dentist

- the recognition as traineeship supervisor, traineeship service and traineeship location

- the professional recognition of foreign diplomas.

 

At the level of the health professions, the FPS also deals with:

- the development of annual statistics on Dentists

- the procedure for the legalisation of medical certificates

 

For all information on the training for Dentists, please refer to the websites of the French Community (http://www.equivalences.cfwb.be/portail_equivalences.asp) and the Flemish Community (http://www.ond.vlaanderen.be/naric/) of Belgium.

Issuing of certificates for the services provided and the accreditation of Dentists falls under the competence of the RIZIV/INAMI (www.inami.fgov.be).
