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.
