Dentist

Being a dentist in Greenland's dental care is a particularly meaningful job, where you visibly contribute to the improvement of dental health for children, young people, and adults.

In the National Dental Care, you can gain valuable experience and develop yourself; both as a person and as a dentist.

We offer permanent employment or short-term temporary positions of a minimum duration of 3 months.

Why a dentist in Greenland?

We guarantee exciting, varied, and diverse workdays in fantastic surroundings that will be developmental and challenging - both professionally and personally.

With us, there is time for the patients, the colleagues, and time for the tasks. You will experience closer contact with everyone you meet, as the units are small and distances are great.

What can I expect?

• An exciting workday where you can have many treatments of varying types.
• That we have modern dental clinics.
• From the larger cities, the citizens of the city and the associated villages are served.
• You will participate in community visits, where you meet and engage with citizens in their local environment.
• A very special experience and challenge.
• You will have a close collaboration with your colleagues at the clinic. You help each other when needed, for example with interpretation and various treatments. The permanent staff has a very good knowledge of daily routines and work approach, which you will benefit from.

What is expected of me?

To succeed in our healthcare system, it is important that you have an interest in Greenland and are keen to become a part of the Greenlandic community.

As a dentist in Greenland, you must be professionally skilled, able to work independently, and handle many of the everyday practical and professional issues on your own, especially in the smaller towns and settlements along the coast.

You need to be efficient and proactive. At the same time, you also help shape your workday.

The Greenlandic Healthcare System – Breadth, Challenge, and Professional Pride

The Greenlandic healthcare system falls under the Department of Health and is organized into 5 regions, 8 clinical areas, the National Health Service, the Greenlandic Patient Home, and the operational area of the healthcare system.

If you are looking for professional challenges, are curious, and enjoy working broadly, then a job in the Greenlandic Health Service is something for you.

In Greenland, there are plenty of opportunities to lead an active leisure life. In the summer, hiking, whale watching, hunting, fishing, and sailing are ideal activities. Winter offers the northern lights and plenty of skiing, and if you live north of the Arctic Circle, you can go dog sledding. In the larger cities, there is a vibrant cultural scene with sports clubs, art exhibitions, concerts, cafes, and restaurants.
