Oral health plays a crucial role in overall well-being and quality of life.
However, not everyone has easy access to the dental care they need, primarily due to financial constraints. To address this issue, a programme called "Cheque Dentista" was implemented in Portugal.
"Cheque Dentista" is a government programme created to facilitate access to dental care and improve the oral health of the Portuguese population.
It provides financial support, allowing people to access dental treatments more affordably.
Facilitated access to dental care. The "Cheque Dentista" programme ensures that people of all ages have access to the treatments they need to maintain good oral health.
Wide range of treatments covered. "Cheque Dentista" covers a broad range of treatments, including routine check-ups, cleanings, cavity treatments, extractions, preventive care, among others.
Cost reduction. The "Cheque Dentista" programme provides financial assistance to help reduce the cost of dental treatments. This makes dental care more affordable for those facing financial difficulties, ensuring they don’t have to postpone or neglect necessary care.
Support for prevention. In addition to covering curative treatments, "Cheque Dentista" also promotes prevention. With regular check-ups, X-rays, and other preventive treatments, it helps avoid dental problems and maintain long-term oral health.
To benefit from the "Cheque Dentista" programme, a family doctor or dentist must carry out the appropriate assessment and prescription. After the assessment, the beneficiary will receive a voucher that can be used at a participating dental clinic or practice.
If you are covered by the programme, you can use your "Cheque Dentista" in Coimbra at Área Clínica.
We provide quality treatments for patients of all ages to maintain and improve their oral health.
"Cheque Dentista" has been an important initiative in Portugal to make dental care more accessible to the population.
By providing financial support for dental treatments, the programme has contributed to the improvement of oral health and the well-being of the Portuguese people. Whether for growing children, adults dealing with dental issues, or the elderly requiring specialised care, "Cheque Dentista" plays a key role in promoting oral health and equitable access to necessary treatments.
