Participation in payment for dental care

Dental damage due to accidents

Dental damage due to accidents is paid by Iceland Health on application, if compensation is not proven to be paid by a third party, such as an insurance company. It is important that the injured person or his guardian in case of a child, notify the dental damage caused by accidents to his insurance company and that the dentist sends the injury certificate to Iceland Health.

If damage is not compensated by a third party and Iceland Health is liable for compensation, Iceland Health will pay in full for children, 80% of the cost of necessary treatment for pensioners and 80% for others.

Damage to teeth due to assault

Dental damage due to assaults is not paid by Iceland Health. Compensation for them should be applied to the aggressor or the victims compensation fund at the Ministry of Justice.
