The preset paper was meant to share the experience of developing an ESP course for first-year dental students. The authors expect it to be useful for students and novel teachers facing a similar task. A brief concise literature review is presented to later share the experience of English teachers at the Faculty of Dentistry in the University of Los Andes. Teaching ESP is not just a challenge for the teacher, but also a chance to learn about language teaching, the language itself and new academic and scientific communities.
