Dentistry is an entrepreneurially oriented public interest profession that must maintain a balance between professional specificity and business sustainability. Communicating with patients is vital in a competitive system, and the dentist needs to use handy resources such as websites and social media. The aim of this research is (a) to examine whether websites and social networks are a digital entrepreneurship tool used in the dentistry profession in Oradea, a city in full economic development in Romania, to promote the profession nationally and internationally, (b) to compare the changes made using digital tools in the period between 2018–2021 for all licensed dentists in the mentioned city (between 430–450 people, depending on the stage of analysis) using the content analysis method and (c) to identify how the lockdown period imposed by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced not only the sustainability of the medical services provided to the population but also the communication practices of the dental offices. The results of examining the dentist’s online presence reveal that there is an interest among practitioners to grow their business sustainably through a digital presence that is increasingly relevant to them and their clients, but the potential remains under-exploited.

The pandemic calls into question the very functioning of humanity. In a world disturbed at all levels, education is inevitably suffering. The sudden passage without proper preparation exclusively to distance learning has changed the routines of all implied parties. This way of teaching and learning has pointed to many challenges, which led to new approaches, strategies, and methods as well as a need for a rapid adaptation to this unusual context. Our study, carried out during March and April 2021, proposed highlighting the representations and expectations of economics students (several specializations combined) at the beginning of their academic path. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, the article identifies how the teaching and learning of the French language for affairs were influenced by the distance learning process imposed during the state of emergency and alert decreed by the government. In the beginning, the students stressed their preference for the traditional learning paradigm (face-to-face courses, meeting with fellow students, the excitement of student life), even if they never crossed the doorsteps of an amphitheater. During the isolation period, despite the stress and challenges, they managed to discover the positive parts of online education, naturally provided by the tools used (unlimited access to courses, variety of teaching resources, freedom of access, the permanence of materials, video conferencing applications, etc.). As a result, the ideal learning environment is a combination of the two above-mentioned approaches that incorporate both worlds’ advantages.
