*Some treatments, such as the provision of dentures, require the approval of the HSE before the dentist can proceed, in which case the dentist will apply directly to the HSE.

Additional treatments are available to patients with specific medical conditions; your dentist will advise you regarding your entitlements in such cases. The HSE dental section may require written documentation outlining any medical treatments/medication from your G.P. or other relevant medical professional.
