Not good.
The forum is a mutual help sort of place, so we would rather see any help and advice posted in the open, thus hopefully helping anyone with the same questions, even if they aren't forum members.

Hello there. Well I am not sure what you mean by dental assistant , but if you are talking about being a dentist in Netherlands you need to qualified with the Dutch Language very well. knowing knowledge of Dutch wont qualify you for that position here.As well you are willing to work and live here first you need to have visa and work. As far as I know there are some positions not available in the category of expats. As you are 19 you better think about further studies here in Holland and from there you better figure out how to go from there. That is the best advice I can give you. Here is the link of universities where accept the foreign students!
