Iceland Health's dental payment participation
Icelandic Health insurance participates in the payment of dentistry for children up to the age of 18 and pensioners. Participation in payment requires that children and pensioners be registered with a family dentist.
Others pay for dental costs themselves according to their dentist's tariff.
For further details, see the website of Iceland Health.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to make an appointment for the first dental examination when the child is two years old. Regular check-ups by a dentist are recommended once a year.
