Health Insurance Tax back from dental up north?

[bitethebullet]

Hello. I had costly root canal treatment in newry. Can this be partially claimed back in any way ?

Yes, see here:

Dental expenses

This pages outlines how you can claim relief for non-routine dental care

www.revenue.ie

If you have private health insurance maybe it will cover it to some extent?

I have VHI but they only cover the standard dental visits on the plan i have. Just rang them there now.

Sounds like medical expenses tax relief is your only option so? You can claim this via your Revenue myAccount.
