This manuscript presents a personal viewpoint that starts by recognizing the world’s complexity and its dynamics as well as its great challenges and gaps. It intends to be optimistic and believe that it is possible to be aware of our responsibility of the issues and become better professionals, human beings, and citizens. Many theories attempt to explain the relationships and behaviors of the humans and society, and how determinants affect people’s health. Oral health must be seen as a component of the right to health care and must contribute to the wellbeing of people, not just to focus of curing disease. Therefore, it is not enough to have public policies. It is essential to develop the human talent with a comprehensive and solid education that will allow health professionals understand the reality of which they are part of and develop the skills to analyze, transform, and mainly apply knowledge for the betterment of social reality. |
