Sweden
The 5-year dental education is offered at four universities:
- Malmö University College http://www.mah.se/od/eng
- University of Gothenburg http://www.odontology.gu.se/
- Karolinska Institutet, at Huddinge Hospital http://ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1524&l=en
- University of Umeå http://www.odont.umu.se/index_eng.html
Most dentists in Sweden are organized through "Tandläkarförbundet" which also issues the scientific 'Swedish Dental Journal': http://www.tandlakarforbundet.se/swe/default.asp.
Dental care is provided at public and private dental offices. Dental services are free for everyone up to 20 years of age. From the age of 20 and upwards there is a fixed state refund which usually is, depending on the dentist's fee and what type of dentistry performed, around 10% - 15% of the total cost. For more expensive dental work above the age of 65 the patients only pay 7800 SEK (~ $1,000) plus the cost of the dental material that was used.
The English title given to dental graduates in Sweden is D.D.S (University Degree in Dental Surgery) until 2013. Due to the implementation of Bologna the dental high schools changed the title D.D.S to Degree of Master of Science in Dental Surgery and also awarding a purely academic title of Master of Science (120 credits) in Dental Science.
All dentists in the European Union/EES are eligible to work in Sweden. Dentists with an exam outside EES are required to take a one year course at Karolinska in Stockholm.
