Dentists in the Netherlands

Dutch dentists (tandartsen) are generally known Worldwide to be very good. Indeed they are, but also on this topic you should be prepared when you intends to spend a part of your life in Holland.

The dental care coverage is very much dependent of the policy you have subscribed. Check it very carefully before signing it.

Starting from January 2012 Dutch government liberalized dental services and prices can be decided by the single specialist (I know, everywhere else is already like this, but this has been perceived as a big change from Dutch people).

Due to this “revolution” insurance companies have adapted their reimburses, sometimes defining a ceiling prices, which, by law, shall be made available online.

The same obligation of transparency has been applied to dentists, who shall make their prices lists available on line for comparison.

Your kids (under 18) are covered by the basic insurance.
