Brazilian Dentistry

Ronaldo Hirata

“Brazilian dentistry is the best in the world!” This great slogan speaks volumes about ourselves and our prideful identity. The correlation I make is: “Brazilian football is the best in the world!” Would you agree or disagree? We have, as a country, a certain classic low self-esteem of feeling a little inferior and isolated. This comes from the fact that we are a Portuguese-speaking country lost in a Spanish-speaking ocean. To make matters worse, our territorial size does not allow us to travel easily to other countries in order to learn their culture and feel the need to learn, after all, other languages. We become an island. We react by acting opposite, like the person who attacks when he is afraid.
