Reimbursement when moving from municipal to private dentist

Question:

I have long considered moving our kids (11 +13 years) to a private dentist, because I think that goes too long between visits (over 1 year) and if a problem occurs, it is almost impossible to get a time
Now the school dental service created a new structure, so the kids only get to study every 15-16 months. I think it's very important that the teeth examined, especially now that they almost only brushes itself.

How is the subsidy rules by moving to private dentistry?

Answer:

Dear worried Mom

For children and adolescents under 16 are free to choose private dentist with a user charge of 35%, meaning that the municipality provides grants of 65%. For children and adolescents 16 and 17 years have free choice of dental care without charge. There must always be made an agreement with the municipality before the change. Contact your local dental care in your municipality.
