Not really a taxation issue.

Dental Benefit

Dental Benefit pays some of the cost of different dental treatments including:

* dental examination and diagnosis,
* scaling and polishing (including mild gum treatment),
* severe gum treatment,
* fillings,
* extractions,
* dentures,
* root canal therapy.

You can get details of the amounts you need to pay from your dentist or from the Department.


The amount of social insurance you need depends on your age which you can check here

Anyway, your dentist will normally ask you for your pps number and will then ask a member of his staff to check against your PRSI (Stamps) already paid.

The budget had changed the dental scheme almost completely.

From 1st Jan, you will only be covered for the cost of the exam, polishing and cleaning has been removed as a covered item.

I finaly had the 260 contriutions to claim as an over 25 yr old and they take it away :mad::mad::mad::mad:

No i can't believe that...I'm in the same boat as yourself then.

I was of the assumption that the budget reflects the way forward...ya know from Jan 2010 onwards. They can't backdate this on contributions we've already made.

Anyone working in dental benefits section in DSFA on boards. Please enlighten us.

well the girl there told me to get to the dentist before christmas becoz i would only be covered for an exam come january

If you are getting continous work done and it has started before december, she said you would be covered there too

to be honest i just wanted to get the free clean every six months!!

there's a few threads over in dental issues dealing with this.
if you get your check up before Christmas, then any subsequent work will be covered. but the 2 free cleans a year are over for now!!
