dental care is provided at public and private dental offices. dental services are free for everyone up to 20 years of age. from the age of 20 and upwards there is a fixed state refund which usually is, depending on the dentist's fee and what type of dentistry performed, around 10% - 15% of the total cost. for more expensive dental work above the age of 65 the patients only pay 7800 sek (~ $1,000) plus the cost of the dental material that was used.
