Edit; just realised the yellow teeth comment above was a bit off the mark. Hoskins teeth are of course "tropical beige". Yellow was Sooo last season.

lost the said job in december and got a medical card in january. got a dodgey tooth out and 2 filled and a hygiene check all for free last month.

will wait til next year get the other dodgey one out and get 2 more filled for nout.

Have you not got one with you on the dole


Have they relaxed the Medical Card rules since the budget I wonder? The Uncle looked into it last year and was told by two separate dentists the only thing covered now by med card is a yearly check up (and one removal in an extreme emergency), which is essentially a posh way of bringing your car to a mechanic and him telling you but of course you need a full service on it boss.
  
The link below says he's covered for fillings so I think alot of them make up the rules as they go along and chance their arm charging. It makes no long term financial sense for the state NOT to offer at least one dental clean once per year to every citizen as we all end up paying ultimately in increased heath spending. Let Hoskins enjoy his yellow teeth, clean gnashers are very important to your overall health (esp your heart). Dirty teeth costs lives, etc




dentist im with now is a sound chap. he said per calendar year i am entitled to 1 free cleaning visit , any extractions required and 2 fillings. all for free

Yeah that's a really nice touch. Just make sure he hoovers under the bed in the spare room....  Gonna ring around a few places for the Uncle tomorrow. He's on a fixed SW payment so one trip to the dentist and it's beans on toast for a month.

I went last year and was told just 2 fillings was all i was allowed, nothing more. Bitch was trying to charge me 50 quid for my teeth cleaned. Is getting them cleaned on the medical card?

Is indeed. Mouth is like a landfill in Mount Vesuvius at this stage, Export Guinness bottle caps marked into his gnashers.  Be a job getting him to part with more than €1.99 for reasons of personal hygiene too.

Thats the problem as Ringer and others mentioned. It's hard to know what the medical card actually covers depending who you go to. If you go by that link I put earlier, a yearly check up one removal and two fillings are covered but it seems not every dentist is abiding by that. I'm sure there's a law requiring them to stick by the terms of state contract but sure people on medical cards are only scum who should be grateful etc..*

**The sarcasm font is currently out of order.

Just got 2 wisdom teeth out over here in Canada and was charged $793 but I get 100% of it back under my work union insurance. Free healthcare over here to everyone who is working 3 months is gift

Some advice please fellow forummers. I'm looking at a cost of €1500-2500 for an implant in Dublin. Is it worth heading up North to get it done? I'm told its a good bit cheaper but as the process takes a couple of stages spread over 6 months, it might be handier to pay the extra few bob to do it local rather than undergo two treks unless there is a big money difference. 

Has anyone got good recommendations for a dentist? I'm likely to have to get another implant in the near future so might get the two of them done at the same time.

Just been to the dentist for the first time in about fifteen years to get a large filling. 

Mouth is incredibly numb and uncomfortable, and I can barely communicate. Any idea how long it'll take to get back to normal? Minutes? Hours?

I had a filling last month for the first time in years and years and couldnt believe how little pain and numbness occurred. 

All cleared up in a couple of hours.

Yeah, I was surprised by how painless it was but my mouth is still really numb and cottony.

Said I was close to needing a root canal and she also mentioned extraction. Shocked

I'm terrified of eating now incase the filling comes out or I aggravate it somehow, even though that shouldn't be likely.
