PRSI Dental Entitlements at Christie Dental Kilkenny
Become A PatientUnder the Treatment Benefit Scheme, patients who are PRSI contributors are entitled to certain dental services free of charge or at a reduced cost.
What Dental Treatments Are Covered?
Patients who make PRSI contributions can take advantage of the following benefits:
Annual Free Dental Examination
PRSI employees are entitled to one free dental check-up per year. A thorough dental examination each year helps your dentist to monitor your overall oral health and pinpoint any potential issues. Availing of a free annual examination can be very beneficial for patients in helping to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Scale and Polish (Cleaning)
In addition to an annual dental examination, patients making PRSI contributions can also take advantage of a single annual scale and polish at a reduced cost. With this treatment the dentist will remove plaque and tartar buildup, keeping your teeth clean and greatly reducing risk of gum disease. If more extensive cleaning is needed (such as in the case of patients who already have gum disease), a deeper periodontal treatment is also available at a reduced cost. The PRSI scheme contributes to the cost.
Why is Regular Cleaning Important?
Regular cleaning is important because it not only helps to improve the appearance of your smile but can also play an important part in the prevention of gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath.
Who is Eligible?
If you are working and paying PRSI contributions on your income, you are entitled to dental benefits referred to above under the Treatment Benefit Scheme. Eligibility depends on having made the required number of PRSI contributions. Most employees and self-employed individuals who pay PRSI will qualify, but you can check your eligibility HERE or you can get in touch with us for assistance.
