Dentist Pass returns: Free dental check-up for thousands of children
Important news for families in Greece comes from the Ministry of Health, as the return of the "Dentist Pass" program has been announced. This is an initiative aimed at the prevention and care of children's oral health, offering free dental services.
The new program has expanded age criteria compared to the past. Now, the "Dentist Pass" will cover approximately 300,000 children, aged 5 to 14. In this way, more students will have the opportunity to visit the dentist for a preventive check-up without any financial burden on their parents.
The process is expected to operate via a digital card, similar to previous subsidy programs. Beneficiaries will be able to use the subsidy amount at private dentists of their choice, covering basic procedures such as cleaning, fluoride treatment, and dental examinations.
This initiative is part of the state's efforts to strengthen public health and ensure the early diagnosis of problems in children. Details regarding the application platform and the program's start dates are expected to be officially announced in the coming days by the competent authorities.
Parents are encouraged to monitor announcements on gov.gr to stay informed about the steps they need to follow for the application. The program provides significant relief for households, prioritizing children's health from a young age.
