    check out the various threads on the dental forum.

    just fill in a med1, you will need your dentist to fill out a med2 for you for the
    qualifying treatments. You don't actually have to send it in. Only certain
    things qualify.

    You can do this all online..

    You can only claim back for "non-routine" dental work.

    You need Form Med 2 which must be filled in and signed by your dentist.

    From the revenue site:

    Dental treatments for which tax relief is allowable:

    1. Crowns: These are restorations fabricated outside the mouth and are permanently cemented to existing tooth tissue.
    2. Veneers/Rembrant Type Etched Fillings: These are a form of crown.
    3. Tip Replacing: This is regarded as a crown where a large part of the tooth needs to be replaced and the replacement is made outside the mouth.
    4. Gold Posts: These are inserts in the nerve canal of a tooth, to hold a crown.
    5. Gold Inlays: These are a smaller version of a gold crown. (Only allowable if fabricated outside of the mouth).
    6. Endodontics - Root Canal Treatment: This involves the filling of the nerve canal and not the filling of teeth.
    7. Periodontal Treatment: Root Planning is a treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. Currettage and Debridement is part of root planning. Gum Flaps is a gum treatment. Chrome Cobalt Splint if used in connection with periodontal treatment. (If it contains teeth, relief is not allowable).
    8. Orthodontic Treatment: This involves the provision of braces and similar treatments.
    9. Surgical Extraction of Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When undertaken in a hospital or a dental surgery, relief is allowable.
    10. Bridgework: Dental Treatment consisting of an enamel-retained bridge or a tooth-supported bridge is allowable.
    Note: Tax relief is not available for the cost of scaling, extraction and filling of teeth or the provision of artificial teeth or dentures.

    I did it online http://www.revenue.ie/en/index.html.
    You need to register for paye and it takes about 3 days to get a pin. Then it is easy enough.
