Special dentistry according to the rules: how?
Since 2006, the special dentistry scheme applies to everyone. Before that, privately insured persons were dependent on a limited list of deviations and were obliged to have the necessary care provided in a Centre for Special Dentistry (CBT). For health insurance policyholders, the general dentist had primacy for all special dentistry. However, many general dentists were unable (in terms of time, knowledge and experience) to apply the special care in practice. As a result, CBTs were soon established where dentists with a special affinity could provide the care. Nowadays, mainly specialized dentists work at the various larger CBTs. What is the current situation regarding the entitlement to and claiming special dentistry?
