The HSE provides orthodontic treatment to those who have been assessed and referred for treatment before their 16th birthday. Orthodontic referrals are generally received via the Public Dental Service school screening programme. I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy regarding waiting times for orthodontic treatment in Co. Louth.
