National Dental Insurance Coverage: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the national dental insurance scheme covers your cleanings and fillings while identifying what procedures are excluded from coverage.
This scheme provides subsidized dental care for residents through the national health insurance system.
Who it's for
This coverage is available to all individuals who are holders of health insurance.
What you get
You can access standard dental services, such as cleanings and fillings, with the insurance covering a significant portion of the cost. You will only be responsible for a 30% out-of-pocket cost for these specific services.
What it costs you
When you visit a dental clinic, you will pay a standard co-pay at the time of your appointment. The exact amount depends on the services you receive.
The catch to know
The insurance only covers necessary dental work. Cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, are not covered and must be paid for in full. These are considered non-insured services.
How to apply
- Ensure you have your valid health insurance card ready.
- Visit any dental clinic that accepts national health insurance.
- Present your insurance card at the reception desk before your check-up.
