    you are intitel to 2 pieces of treatment per year with a medical card.
    your dentist can apply for approval from the HSE for any addititional treatment. this coud take up to 6 weeks and this may or may not be succesfull, ortherwise you will have to pay. but go and talk to your dentist.

    True, but not what the OP asked. A GP visit card does not entitle the holder to any dental treatment.
