Children and young people in the municipal dental service are exempt from the subsidy. Previously this applied to children and young people under 18. Now it applies to children and young people under 22 who were born after 31 December 2003 and are covered by the statutory municipal dental service.
The subsidy for examinations for young people has a new age limit. Previously it was young people aged 18-25. Now it is young people under 26. This applies to the basic diagnostic examination and the status examination for young people.
The regional council continues to provide 65% in subsidies for the two examinations for young people under 26 and for the focused examination. The 30% subsidy for bitewings still applies. What has changed is that the age limit for young people has changed from 18-25 to under 26. Ordinary teeth cleaning only receives a subsidy when it is carried out together with one of the examinations at least 12 months apart, or as part of treatment for illness.
The previous executive order (no. 332) no longer applies.
