Dental Care

This portal contains a variety of useful information about dental care rights and services, especially regarding financial assistance for special segments of the population.

Until recently, dentistry was considered a luxury with an aesthetic focus. In the past few years this topic has become a central issue in the healthcare system and includes new laws making dental care free for children. Specific treatments can be seen on the dental care page of the "Kol HaBriut" website.
