If you need a dentist, please contact the information desk at the Department of Dentistry for an appointment. You must pay
cash for a consultation. Remember to check whether dental care is included in your insurance package. If it is, ask for a receipt in order to get a refund from your insurance company later. If you are here for a long period of time and need a simple check-up be aware that you will be placed on a waiting list, meaning that it may take a couple of weeks before you get an appointment. However, you will be given an appointment immediately for emergency dental care.
Insurance
Non-EU/EEA citizens
If you belong to country group II, III or IV you will have to pay your dentist bills yourself (often in cash) unless your insurance policy has a special clause relating to dental care. AON insurance does not cover dental costs unless there is an emergency. In order to be eligible for a refund you must be able to prove an emergency situation existed by supplying proof in the form of a declaration from your dentist or General Practitioner.
EU/EEA citizens
If you belong to country group I or IA and are insured in your own country under a national health service that also covers dental costs your treatment will be refunded according to the terms and conditions of your own insurance.
