Dentist: what to know

A dentist looks after the health of your teeth, gums and mouth. They carry out check-ups and scale-and-polish, treat decay, perform extractions and offer prosthetic or cosmetic treatment, as well as advising you on everyday oral hygiene.

When to book an appointment

• An annual dental check-up and a scale-and-polish
• Toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold
• Gums that bleed or are swollen
• A broken tooth, or a crown or denture to replace

Costs in Switzerland

Dental care is generally not covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); supplementary dental insurance may cover part of the costs.
