Free Dental Assistance junta de Andalucía
Children between 6 and 15 years of age residing in Andalusia are entitled to receive basic dental care and certain special treatments free of charge through the Individual Health Card.
Children's dentists
Evidently, food is a key and fundamental element in our health and on it we build the foundations of our quality of life.
As important as our food is the state of our teeth and our dental hygiene, that is why the Andalusian Health Administration, aware of this need, guarantees basic dental care and certain special treatments to all persons between 6 and 15 years of age protected by the Andalusian Public Health System and residents of this Community.
Since 2002, when the oral health care program was initiated, with attention to people born in 1995 and 1996, the guarantee of dental care for children between 6 and 15 years of age residing in Andalusia was completed in 2009.
Only the examination by your family dentist ensures that the mouth is healthy.
The dental clinic B&J is a center authorized by the Junta de Andalucía to provide this type of assistance and has a team of pediatric dentistry in La Herradura and Las Gabias - Híjar.
We solve your doubts
Are you going to cover all people of those ages from the outset?
All persons between the ages of 6 and 15 in the calendar year are entitled to dental benefits.
The child is entitled to an annual check-up, the minimum content of which shall include instructions on oral hygiene standards, diets, etc., examination of the oral cavity, examination of the permanent dentition (using an examination probe, flat mirror and the necessary material), including all existing pits and fissures in the enamel. In case of reasonable doubt, an intraoral radiological examination will be performed, with the prior written consent of the parents or guardians.
The family dentist will follow up children with a special predisposition to caries, periodontal disease or malocclusions, or where aggressive oral treatment poses a risk to the patient's health.
Also, always at the discretion of each dentist, it can be performed:
- The sealing of fissures or pits in healthy permanent teeth that will prevent the appearance of caries.
- Filling of permanent teeth (fillings) when caries are already present.
- The most appropriate treatment of pulpal lesions.
- Extraction of primary teeth (baby teeth).
- The extraction of any permanent dental piece, provided that under the criteria of your family dentist there is no other more conservative treatment.
- Tartrectomy (cleaning), when calculus and/or extrinsic pigmentations are detected in permanent dentition.
- It will also cover, although with certain formal requirements, certain special treatments for trauma or malformations of the canine incisor teeth.
What assistance is not covered?
Those treatments necessary due to trauma when there is a responsible party who must bear the cost of such treatment, orthodontic and restorative treatments in the primary dentition (baby teeth).
When and where should I apply for assistance?
Children who turn 6 years of age and are entitled to the benefit will go to the dentist of their choice, who will provide them with the assistance required among those listed in the previous sections upon presentation of the Individual Health Insurance Card (TSI).
