PRSI entitlements: All you need to know

PRSI entitlements often go unused as many people do not realise that they may be able to receive free or discounted dental treatment under the Government scheme

PRSI entitlements are part of a benefit scheme introduced by the Government for all people who pay PRSI. The Irish Times reported recently that hundreds of thousands of Irish taxpayers are not taking advantage of this initiative which offers free or discounted dental, optical and hearing care.

But what is the scheme and what exactly are you entitled to? We have the answers to all your questions.

What are ‘PRSI entitlements’?

The Treatment Benefit Scheme is an initiative of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection and provides dental, optical and aural services to people who qualify.

Who is eligible for PRSI entitlements?

The scheme is open to insured employees who contribute pay-related social insurance (PRSI), as well as the self-employed and retired people who have the required number of contributions.

Am I entitled to receive these benefits?

Approximately two and half million people in Ireland pay PRSI which means they may qualify under this scheme. If you are an employee of a company or self-employed you are very likely to be eligible.

Is Dental Care Ireland part of this scheme?

Yes, Dental Care Ireland is part of this scheme. Find the Dental Care Ireland practice nearest to you. Our partner practice in Ballsbridge, Northumberland Dental Care, which caters for people living and/or working in Dublin 2 and Dublin 4, is also part of the scheme.

How do I find out if I qualify for Dental Care Ireland’s offer under the scheme?

Contact the practice closest to you directly by phone or email and they will check if you are eligible. If in Dublin 2 or Dublin 4, contact Northumberland Dental Care on +35316688441 and they will be able to see if you can avail of the service.

What do I get with Dental Care Ireland if I’m eligible?

There are various dental entitlements for both employed and self-employed PRSI payers: a full dental exam, a subsidised scale and polish (capped cost of €15) or a part-subsidised “protracted periodontal treatment”, which is a deeper type of cleaning.

What does an ‘Exam, Scale & Polish’ entail?

During an examination, your dentist will assess the state of your teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks and the floor and roof of your mouth. They will look at the work you have had done in the past and let you know what might need done in the future.

During the ‘scale’ part, your dentist will scrape away any plaque or tartar that may have built up in your mouth. They will then ‘polish’ your teeth which removes stains and blemishes on your teeth, leaving them smoother and whiter.

How do I book in for a check-up with Dental Care Ireland?

As mentioned above, the first thing to do is to contact your local practice to see if you are entitled to the benefits. Our receptionists will be happy to check for you, though you will have to give them consent to check using your PPS number and date of birth.

Why is a check-up important?

Getting regular dental exams is crucial for preventing serious problems occurring in the future. Your dentist will be able to see what is happening and advise you on how to avoid bigger issues.

Regular cleaning by a dentist or hygienist helps to remove plaque, tartar and bacteria, which contributes to cavities, gum disease and bad breath.

How often can I claim these entitlements?

These are available just one time in each calendar year, so you may claim it between January 1st and December 31st each year (but not once every 12 months).

What other benefits apart from dental are there?

Under the Treatment Benefit Scheme, you may qualify for optical benefits and hearing aids as well as a free dental check-up and the ‘Exam, Scale and Polish’ for €15.

Can I book online for dental treatments at your practices?

Yes. You will find a list of all our practices and their contact details here: www.dentalcareireland.ie/practices/

Dental crowns are an effective solution for damaged teeth

Dental crowns will completely restore your smile if you have teeth that have been badly chipped or broken

Dental crowns are fitted over existing damaged teeth, so that a patient’s bite and smile can be fixed. As they will be matched to the exact colour of your teeth, they work as an invisible solution which is one reason why they are so popular with patients.

What are dental crowns?

These are effectively ‘caps’ that are fitted over existing damaged or decayed teeth which cannot be mended using a filling or other method.

Is there a dentist near me that does crowns?

All Dental Care Ireland practices around the country now fit these for patients. Find the dental practice nearest to you.

Do I need crowns?

If one or more of your teeth are badly chipped or damaged and the issue cannot be fixed using traditional methods, your dentist may recommend getting a crown fitted. They act as if they were normal teeth so don’t affect chewing or eating.

How much do they cost?

The costs vary depending on the extent and nature of the work needed. You will find a general guide to Dental Care Ireland’s fees at our practices here.

What other types of cosmetic dentistry are there?

The main types of cosmetic dentistry similar to dental crowns are dental bridges and dental veneers. Teeth whitening is also a very popular cosmetic treatment, which is also available in all our practices. Dentures are another popular option, particularly for older patients.

Who should get crowns fitted?

Dental crowns can be fitted to patients of all ages as a remedy for cracked, chipped or permanently damaged teeth. They are also also suitable for patients whose teeth have suffered a lot of wear and tear.

Are they effective?

Yes. Dental caps are an extremely effective solution for broken teeth. They are also good value and are very good as an aesthetic solution as well as a practical one.

How long do they last?

Generally dental crowns can last for up to 15 years, though this often depends on the amount of wear and tear they endure.

How long does it take to get them fitted?

At least two appointments with your dentist are needed to fit crowns, with a gap of about two weeks between each one. This is when ‘impressions’ of your teeth are sent to our dental labs to have your unique crowns made.

Why do I need temporary crowns?

Temporary crowns are needed as it takes approximately two weeks for your unique permanent ones to be created.

What are they made of?

Crowns come in different materials, including gold, porcelain and porcelain fused to metal. The type of crown needed will depend on the extent of damage done to the original tooth, as the crown will be fitted on top of this.

What do I have to do after I get crowns?

It is important to look after your dental crowns. Your dentist will give you instructions on how to care for them. It is also worth bearing in mind that your teeth will get naturally darker as you get older while your crowns won’t. There are ways around this which your dentist will guide you on when you have check-ups.

Special offer for children as return to school looms – Free Dental Check-up for Children

Dental Care Ireland is offering a free dental check up for children with all adult examinations booked during August. Here, we also give some tips on children’s oral health.

It always seems to arrive sooner than we think – or would like – but that time of year is almost here again. Most schools reopen in the last week of August, so the rush to get everything sorted starts now.

This, of course, includes buying uniforms, school books, stationery and all the other sundry items that your children will need for the year ahead, such as school bags, lunchboxes, sports uniforms and equipment.

Back-to-school

Another important consideration that shouldn’t be overlooked is the care of your children’s teeth. No matter what age they are, it is crucial for the development of strong, healthy teeth that you make sure your children look after their teeth themselves as well as getting a regular dental check up.

To assist with this, Dental Care Ireland is offering a free back-to-school child’s check-up with all adult examinations booked during August. This offer is available in all our practices around the country (*excludes Callan Dental). You will find a list of practices and their contact details on our website.

Prevention

It is worthwhile bringing your children to the dentist before the school term begins. This way, you can see what stage they’re at, get advice from a professional on brushing methods, and plan a schedule of appointments for the year ahead.

“Prevention is always better than cure, and that also applies to children’s teeth,” says Dr Paul O’Dwyer, Group Clinical Advisor at Dental Care Ireland. “So, in order to give your children the best chance of avoiding problems, make sure they clean their teeth properly and get regular examinations with your local dentist.”

Good habits

Dr Suzanne O’Connor of Dental Care Ireland Knocklyon agrees: “Problems with teeth, such as discomfort and pain, can create various problems for children during the school year, including difficulty eating, playing and learning. It can also lead to missing time from school. This is why we recommend examinations so that these issues can be avoided where possible.”

Our dentists can also tell your children how to brush properly and encourage them to clean regularly. Often, it is beneficial for a child to hear this from a professional so they don’t think it is just their parents ‘nagging’ them.

It is also an excellent time to get children used to going to the dentist. Thanks to our friendly yet professional approach and the latest technology, a trip to the dentist is not something to be anxious about. However, to avoid that occurring, it is vital that children can see how easy and painless it is from a young age.

Eating and drinking

During the summer months, children do tend to eat more treats – including ice-creams, of course – and drink more juices and other sweet drinks. With school about to restart, it is worthwhile keeping an eye on what they’re eating and drinking.

You have control over their lunchboxes, so make sure you are avoiding too many fruit juices and smoothies which have high sugar content. Instead, opt for water or milk. Also try to put in a good balance of grains, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, yoghurt, and fruit.

And it is good to replace sugary snacks – chocolate bars, granola bars, etc. – with healthier options such as vegetables (celery, carrots) or cheese. As we all know, they will get plenty of treats at parties and around Halloween and Christmas, so it’s best to minimise these during term time.

Sport

We all love to see our children competing in some sort of sports activity during the school year, whether it is a team sport such as football, hurling or soccer or just regular physical education (PE).

However, making sure their teeth are protected at all times is also very important. We recommend that children get mouth guards or gum shields fitted just for their teeth in order to get the best protection possible.

Our dentists ‘custom-fit’ mouthguards are molded so that they are the perfect fit for each individual’s mouth and stay in place securely. Children also need these checked each year to make sure they are still fitting properly.

Cosmetic dentistry continues to grow in popularity

Cosmetic dentistry is now available in all Dental Care Ireland practices but which treatments will suit you and how effective are they?

Cosmetic dentistry comes in many different formats, all of which can be used to enhance the look of your teeth while often also strengthening your mouth and jaw. Our teams recommend different types to patients, depending on each person’s particular needs.

What are the different types of cosmetic dentistry?

Teeth whitening is generally seen as the most popular cosmetic treatment, but adult patients of all ages are opting more and more for crowns and veneers. Dentures are also popular with older patients as general wear-and-tear take its toll on our teeth.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Cosmetic treatments vary in price, with teeth whitening now a very cost-effective treatment. More specialist fixes, such as crowns, often cost more due to the personalised nature of the treatment.

Is there a dentist near me that does teeth whitening?

All Dental Care Ireland practices now offer excellent teeth whitening treatments, including three in Dublin in Cabinteely, Knocklyon and Swords and in our partner practice in Dublin 4 Northumberland Dental Care. View details of all our practices online today.

What is the best way to whiten teeth?

The most effective way to whiten teeth is to do so through  your dentist. Our dentists will take an ‘impression’ of your teeth and then create a dental ‘tray’ to fit your upper and lower teeth, much like a mouth guard. We will then provide you with tubes of whitening gel so you can whiten your teeth at home.

Is orthodontic treatment cosmetic?

In general, orthodontic treatment is more specialist than cosmetic as it fixes the shape of your mouth. That said, it is still an effective way to correct crooked teeth, particularly in younger people. However, more and more people of all ages are now using orthodontics to fix misaligned teeth.

Is there an orthodontist near me?

The following Dental Care Ireland practices all offer full orthodontic treatment services: Dental Care Ireland Swords, Dental Care Ireland Cabinteely, Dental Care Ireland Knocklyon, Dental Care Ireland Carlow and Callan Dental. Northumberland Dental Care also offers full orthodontic services.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns are fitted over cracked or decayed teeth and essentially act as new teeth if the existing ones cannot be restored using general dental treatments. Each crown is created specifically for your teeth in our partner laboratories.

Should I get composite veneers?

Dental veneers are used to cover defects in your teeth. They are created by your dentist who will take moulds of your teeth on your first visit. These moulds are then used to create veneers to fit over your teeth.

What is the difference between a veneer and composite veneers?

Composite resin veneers and porcelain veneers are the two most commonly used materials when creating veneers for your teeth. Your dentist will be able to advise you which is best for you.

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding – or dental bond-ups – uses a specially formulated composite material to correct minor issues with your teeth, such as cracks, chips, gaps or discolouration. It ‘fills in’ wherever needed. Northumberland Dental Care in Dublin offers this service.

Do Dental Care Ireland fit dentures?

Yes, this service is offered at Dental Care Ireland practices. Dentures are false teeth which can be removed by the patient when required. They can be either full or partial dentures and are made of acrylic/plastic or metal. Your dentist will let you know when you need these fitted and what type will suit you best.

Ideal time to bring children to the dentist

With summer here and children getting off school, it’s the perfect opportunity to bring them to the dentist whether for their first visit, a regular check-up or an orthodontic consultation

It can be hard to get your children to the dentist at the best of times, but when they’re at school, it can be even more difficult for busy parents to organise. So when summer arrives, it is often easier for all concerned to make the time for a vital check-up.

First visit

It is recommended that infants should first be brought to the dentist when their first tooth appears which is generally when they are about six months old. It is good to get them used to the idea of a dentist from an early age. Dentists will also be able to advise you on how best to look after your young children’s baby teeth. They will also be able to spot the beginnings of any problems that may occur later.

We have written in the past about how to ensure your child’s first dental visit is a success and we believe it is crucial that children should feel comfortable and relaxed so that subsequent visits are also stress-free.

School children

Most national or primary level school children finish up at the end of June. You may then be going on holidays or they may be doing summer camps, so it is worth booking them in for a check-up before those things happen. That way, you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of the summer or be under pressure when school begins again in late August.

Ideally, of course, there would be regular free check-ups during school and the Irish Dental Association (IDA) has consistently urged to government to introduce more frequent dental screenings in Irish schools. The Health Service Executive (HSE) does operate the Schools Screening Services which aims to screen children in second, fourth and sixth class. However, the IDA points out that “due to restrictions in the public service, these target classes are not always reached”.

So it is worthwhile bringing your children yourself. Your dentist will then get an opportunity to assess what treatment is needed, if any, including fissure sealants or fillings. They will also be able to advise you and your child on how best to look after their first teeth, including what food and drink to avoid and how to brush properly. Often, children need to hear this not just from you as parents but from a professional.

As with most health issues, prevention is better than cure, so regular visits will allow dentists to spot potential problems and deal with them as early as possible. At this age – from four to 12 – regular dentists will also be able to monitor how your child’s mouth is developing and when – or if – they will need to see an orthodontist.

Teenagers

If your children have been used to going to the dentist regularly from an early age, it will generally be easier to get them to go when they become teenagers. However, as any parent will tell you, bad habits can begin to slip in when your children hit their teens.

It is up to you to encourage good dental habits, such as brushing regularly, flossing and having the right diet (as much as possible). It is also worth encouraging them to be independent and take care of themselves, which means going to the dentist for a check-up or to see a hygienist. However, as we all know, ‘ordering’ teens to do anything, let alone go to the dentist, can be counter-productive.

Teenagers, like the rest of us, care about their health and their appearance so will want to have strong, healthy teeth. So help them to achieve this by allowing them to make their own appointments with the dentist and taking responsibility for their own wellbeing.

However, you can also make an appointment for them and bring them to the dentist if that’s easier for all concerned. The important thing is to make sure they are getting regular check-ups.

Orthodontics

As well as good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, orthodontic treatment will probably be the biggest dental treatment your children will need. A majority of young people need to get braces fitted and the best time to do it is usually between the ages of 10 and 13, though it will depend on the child.

While braces were once unwieldy and sometimes uncomfortable, nowadays they are much easier to fit and to wear. Thanks to modern technology, people can now choose from traditional braces, tooth-coloured ceramic ones or clear Invisalign types which are custom-made for patients’ mouths and which blend in naturally so that they are not unsightly. We use all three kinds in Dental Care Ireland practices and we work with our patients – and their parents – to choose the most suitable type.
