Is dentist free in Italy?

Italy's healthcare covers most medical procedures for all legal residents. Dental care is free in emergency cases and for all children up to 16 years of age. Other procedures, such as orthodontics or laser eye surgery, are generally not covered but may be subsidized to some extent on a case-by-case basis.

Hospital assistance and admission, if required, is free of charge if you have the EHIC card or the Italian Health Insurance Card (Tessera Sanitaria). If you don't, the fees are still very reasonable, and if you keep the receipts you may be reimbursed by your private medical insurance provider.
