Dental care allowance from Försäkringskassan

When it comes to dental care support, we cooperate with the insurance fund. As a Swedish citizen, you are entitled to an annual dental care allowance at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

Dental care allowance insurance fund

On 1 July each year, you receive a general dental care allowance that you can use in connection with your dental visit. The allowance is not something you need to apply for, but your dentist or dental hygienist can see how much you have in arrears. You can save a grant for next year and thus use two grants in the same year. If you don't make use of your contributions, they are "burned inside" which is then replaced with a new one every year. Your age determines how much in allowance you are entitled to. Until the year you turn 23, dental care is free. Then the following applies:

  • From the year you turn 24 until the year you turn 29, the contribution is SEK 600 per year.
  • From the year you turn 30 up to and including the year you turn 64, the contribution is SEK 300 per year.
  • From the year you turn 65, the contribution is SEK 600 per year.
