A range of dental services for adult medical card holders are available under the Dental Treatment Service Scheme (DTSS) from participating dentists holding contracts with the Health Service Executive (HSE). The treatments provided include examinations, scaling and polishing, fillings, extractions, dentures, x-rays and certain root canal treatment. In relation to this entitlement under the DTSS there is no charge to the medical card holder.
