    Abstract

    This report details the results of an analysis of the potential cost implications of proposed changes to aspects of the model of delivery of publicly-financed dental services in Ireland, as set out in the new National Oral Health Policy (Department of Health, 2018b). Currently, dental services in Ireland are financed and delivered in a mixed public-private system, with most individuals paying out-of-pocket fees to independent dental practitioners. The public system currently finances the delivery of dental healthcare services to adult medical cardholders via the Dental Treatment Services Scheme (DTSS); to non-medical cardholder eligible adults via the Treatment Benefit Scheme (TBS); and to children and adults requiring special and complex care via the Public Dental Service (PDS). This report deals with proposed changes to the delivery of preventive dental healthcare services under the DTSS and PDS.
