Got a white filling on a back tooth 2 weeks ago, I paid €50 and the denist said PRSI would pay the other €40.
Just got a front top silver filling and paid €60 - think i was allowed €30 from p.r.s.i. but not 100% sure.
I was at the dentist recently and I was informed that PRSI now only cover the cost of a check up, nothing else
And people on a medical card are only entitled to two free fillings a year.
These changes were brought in on the budget last year.
Any idea average cost of a clean including vat?
You can get more treatment on the medical cards (DTSS) scheme.
Just had another free check up and paid €60 for cleaning. The dentist also did an x-ray and pointed out i need a filling. Am I correct in thinking I will need to pay the full cost now of a filling -nothing covered by PRSI?
