Although children under the age of six do not enter this news, it is good to know for the near future, if the government's proposal at the door of the elections is really being fulfilled (again an issue that worries parents): Free dentist for children 7 to 15 years.
Sealing of fissures, cleanings of the mouth, fillings, extractions or periodic revisions, may be included in public health, but ultimately depends on each community, since the expenses will be distributed between the State Government and the different Communities.
The Ministry of Health indicates that this plan will be implemented as the Spanish Communities subscribe to the Children's Oral Health agreement, and as we have heard in the news, it will be fully effective within 5 years. For some lucky residents in the Basque Country, Catalonia, Andalusia or Navarra, this service already exists in public health, each with different coverage, so it is usually left out of a filling, for example.
We personally think that it is a drawer that oral health is not a luxury, if not that, health, a need even more important than a cold that the family doctor attends to you without problems and drinks outpatient waiting rooms . So we still do not understand what motivates people with oral problems to depend on their income to cure a health problem at work, even after years of contributing to social security.
Anyway, we hope you at least worry about children's health completely.
