Speaking at the conference, Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien said together with the development of the health sector in recent years, the field of odonto-dentistry has made breakthrough advances.

Specifically, the network of specialized dental clinics has been expanded and upgraded from grassroots level to central level. Odonto-dentistry hospitals nationwide have developed many advanced techniques in line with the region and the world, such as facial and skull surgery, orthopedic surgery, dental implantation, etc, Tien added.

Thanks to the successful implementation of many modern techniques, Vietnam has attracted tens of thousands of foreigners for treatment, she said.

There have been various preventative dental programs launched for children in many cities and provinces nationwide, she added. 

In 2011, Vietnam was the first country in Asia to use fluoridated salt to prevent cavities in Lao Cai province.  The program has been recognized by the World Health Organization and appreciated by other countries, Tien said.

The Vietnam International Dental Exhibition and Congress offers a good opportunity for dentists and scientists to share experience, cutting-edge technologies, and new information in dentistry, the Minister noted. 

Through the conference, the Minister hopes that the team of dentists will take advantage of the opportunity to exchange, discuss and update the useful information to serve the medical examination and better treatment for Vietnamese people.
