At Fermoy Dental Centre we are happy to treat holders of full Medical Cards (not Doctor-only) under the Dental Treatment Services Scheme (DTSS) scheme. This scheme has been restricted by the HSE since April 2010 and allows the holder only the following services
All other treatments are of course available to Medical Card holders but the patient is subjected to the relevant private fee. Please ask any of our staff for clarification of your entitlements before attending for appointment.
We also operate under the PRSI Dental Scheme, the Dental Treatment Benefit Scheme (DTBS), which entitles the qualified patient to an annual exam (with no patient contribution) and an annual scale and polish (with a contribution of €15 or €30*). *€30 contribution in cases where clinical gum disease is diagnosed. This is defined by gum pocketing depths of 4mm or more.
