Eligibility for dental health services provided by the Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Act 2015 sets out the primary and community health services available in Ireland, free of charge, effective from 1 July 2015. The women are categorised as High Risk/Priority patients and are entitled to a greater range of dental services than those provided under the standard medical card. The enhanced care provided to them is not limited to services currently available under the Dental Treatment Service Scheme (DTSS) but includes the wider range of services which were available prior to 2010.
