Estonia has a national healthcare program that provides children with access to high-quality dental care at an affordable price. Many parents are surprised to learn that free children’s dental care in Tallinn actually works — and includes not just check-ups, but full dental treatments.
At Kadrioru Plaza Hambakliinik, we collaborate with the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Haigekassa) to help you care for your child’s teeth without financial stress. Here’s what the program includes, who it’s for, and how to access it.
What’s Included in Free Dental Care?
The program covers a wide range of dental services for children and adolescents:
- Regular preventive check-ups
- Diagnostics and consultations
- Treatment of caries and related complications
- Fillings for baby and permanent teeth
- Pulpitis treatment
- Extraction of baby teeth
- Emergency care for pain
- Oral hygiene education and care guidance
Fluoride applications, professional cleaning, and other preventive procedures may also be provided if recommended by the dentist.
How Much Does It Cost?
For insured children under 19 years of age, all services covered by Haigekassa are free or require only a symbolic co-payment.
At our clinic, the visit costs just 5 euros, if treatment is referred through the Health Insurance Fund. That means:
- No hidden fees
- Transparent conditions
- High-quality care in a comfortable environment
Age Limits and Conditions
