ABSTRACT
Opening a private dental office is of interest for many dentists. Beyond economic issues or technical ability, an important limitation to carry this out is the unawareness of administrative procedures necessary for it. Commonly, many dentists dare to keep into the business despite not complying with all the necessary procedures, which makes them susceptible to administrative sanctions. The objective of this work is to enunciate and describe the basic requirements for opening a dental service office within Mexican territory. After a review of current legislation and regulation in the Mexican Republic, the procedures performed in four public agencies are listed: The Tax Administration Service (SAT), health regulation, civil protection, and local government. It should be noted that this information is offered under certain considerations, highlighting that data presented is done in a generic way, since this may vary according to guidelines from local government of each federative entity. It is concluded that compliance with these requirements is the first step for the proper functioning of our business, which helps avoid the corresponding sanctions and disrepute of the private practice.REFERENCES
