<h2>About the Swedish Public Dental Care</h2>
<p class="intro">Achieving better dental health is the basis for our work and within Public Health care there is general dental care, specialist dental care and hospital dental care.</p>
<p class="intro">Wherever you are in life, we have the opportunity to help you improve your dental and oral health.</p>

<h3>Short history</h3>
In 1924, the Riksdag made a decision to appoint an inquiry into dental care for the entire people.

In 1938, the Dental Care was introduced, primarily for the children, and then expanded into stages and new professional groups were added, especially dental hygienists in the sixties

In Sweden, there is today a comprehensive public dental organization in each region, a total of 21. Together, we help the majority of all children in the country and almost half of all adults prevent and promote good oral health.
<h3>Most people have good dental health</h3>
Preventive dental care for children and young people is the most important task for the county councils and regions' own Folktand care. For over 30 years, Folktand care has provided children and young people with regular and free dental care. Therefore, Swedish children have a very good dental health. Six out of ten 12-year-olds had never had a single hole in their teeth in 2000.
Even most adults in Sweden have good dental health. For example, twice as many people between the ages of 75 and 84 have their own teeth compared to twenty years ago.
<h3>Rules and rights</h3>
Dental care is regulated by laws and government regulations, among other things by the Dental Care Act (1985: 125).
In addition, the National Board of Health and Welfare standardizes dental care through regulations and general advice.
Dental care is part of health care and therefore most of the laws of health care also apply in the field of dental care.

The Dental Care and Medicines Benefit Agency (TLV) is the authority that decides which treatments should be included in the high-cost protection for dental care. TLV also determines the reference prices for various dental measures.

There are also a number of principally important regulations for dental care, including the Radiation Protection Institute.

<h2>What is Frisktandvård?</h2>
Frisktandvård (preventative dental care) is an intelligent dental care insurance scheme that offers regular dental care at a fixed price. The concept behind Frisktandvård is to keep your teeth and mouth healthy, or to improve your dental health if necessary.
<h2>What your contract includes</h2>
Your Frisktandvård contract is tailored to your dental care needs. A personal dental care plan is drawn up, based on a risk assessment made by your dentist or dental hygienist. The plan includes self-care, preventative care and treatment.

A Frisktandvård contract always includes the following services:
<ul>
 	<li>Check-ups, examinations and tests.</li>
 	<li>Health-promoting services such as oral hygiene instructions and dietary guidelines.</li>
 	<li>Treatment of disease and pain, e.g. caries and gum disease.</li>
 	<li>Dental repair, e.g. fillings and single crowns.</li>
 	<li>Emergency dental care.</li>
 	<li>Frisktandvård does not include the costs of orthodontic work or aesthetic dental care. For dental services not included in the contract, please see the rules regarding Dental Care Allowance.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Frisktandvård works</h2>
After entering into a Frisktandvård contract, you will be given a thorough dental examination. If you are found to need treatment, the necessary treatment will be carried out. You will be charged for the treatment according to the prevailing price list for dental care in your County Council area or region.
<h2>Risk assessment and premium prices</h2>
After your examination and consequent treatment (if required), a risk assessment will be made to determine your premium class. Your premium class is based on your risk of developing dental and oral disorders, and will determine the price of your Frisktandvård premium. The higher the risk, the higher your premium class. The premium prices are decided politically by your County Council or region. You can pay monthly, annually or for the whole contract period.
<h2>Contract period</h2>
The term of the contract is three years. After this, the contract can be extended automatically. Your new risk/premium class will depend on your dental health during the previous contract period.
<h2>Frisktandvård offers many advantages</h2>
Advantages of Frisktandvård:
<ul>
 	<li>Regular check-ups and preventative dental care.</li>
 	<li>Your own preventative dental care plan including advice on improving your dental and oral health.</li>
 	<li>Full control of your dental care costs, with no unexpected expenses.</li>
 	<li>Emergency dental care at public dental practices throughout Sweden.</li>
 	<li>You take your contract with you if you move house. Your contract is valid at all public dental practices throughout Sweden.</li>
 	<li>An excellent service contract providing security for you and your teeth.</li>
</ul>
