Don't think so:

What Treatments do not qualify for relief?
  • Routine Dental Care
Tax relief is not available for the cost of scaling, extraction and filling of teeth and the provision and repair of artificial teeth and dentures.
  • Routine Ophthalmic Care
Tax relief is not available for the cost of sight testing, provision and maintenance of spectacles and contact lenses.
Do you qualify for PRSI linked Treatment Benefit which may cover some of the cost?
