237. France, so close to us!


The device for preventing oral M'T Dents allows all children ages 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 years receive a free review of prevention and a 100% reimbursement for care resulting from this review.
Health insurance and dental surgeons have set up these appointments in order to promote early and regular contact with the dentist. Indeed, regular monitoring began in childhood prevents care more painful and more costly in the future.
During these appointments, the dentist examines your teeth, gums and, if necessary, makes radios. It establishes an appropriate plan of care. It also gives advice and teaches good habits of oral health (brushing, food hygiene, awareness about the harms of smoking for adolescents, ...). In Practice: A month before her birthday, you receive a letter from the Health Insurance inviting your child to conduct a review of preventive dentistry at the contracted dentist of your choice. It's free for you, health insurance rule the dentist directly (third payer).
After the examination, whether treatment is necessary (caries, scaling, sealing grooves ...), you need to advance fees but will be refunded 100% if they are started within 9 months after the first examination. In contrast, other treatments (orthodontic appliances, dentures) are not supported under this scheme, they are reimbursed at the usual rate.
The dental oral exam is free and painless, it would be a shame not to enjoy. For more information:
