Hi,
Looking for advice. Had my 14 year old at a public orthodontist yesterday. They want 2 remaining baby teeth removed before treatment begins. I was told take him to a private dentist. It will cost approx â‚¬70 per tooth at local dentist. My child has a medical card, can anyone advise can this be used at all. Private dentist said not until one is 16 with them and orthodontist said he is not covered under local public dentist. I'm concerned that once they decide his treatment he may also need adult teeth removed.
