Brazil
Dental care is provided by both the private and public sector. However, private clinics are the most common place a person would go if a dentist is needed. Today, the private market is dominated by large companies that hire mostly recently graduated dentists. Nevertheless, there are thousands of small clinics spread throughout the country.

This institution has 340,000 registered dentists and 191 universities and/or colleges in Brazil.
