During the consultation, the dentist performs a review of the patient’s teeth, a photo analysis and an X-ray investigation and prepares a treatment plan.

The Estonian Health Insurance Fund will pay for the treatment of patients below 19 years of age who are Estonian citizens. In addition, the Health Insurance Fund will cover treatment costs during the year after a patient turns 19 years old if the need for treatment was discovered at the last visit before the patient turned 19.

Adults have the right to receive emergency dental care if postponing the treatment or not performing the treatment could cause death or permanent health damage. The need for emergency care will be decided by the doctor. If the person has European health insurance, the Estonian Health Insurance Fund will cover the cost. Emergency care of non-insured people will be covered from the state budget via Ministry of Social Affairs.
