Tooth extractions
Are you a resident of the Caribbean Netherlands, are you 18 years or older and do you have to extract teeth? The SZW unit reimburses tooth extractions for residents of Bonaire with a low income. This concerns people who earn no more than 120% of the minimum wage, who receive social relief or who have an AOV pension without other income.
To apply for this reimbursement, you can visit our office during consultation hours. Based on your bank statement and income certificate, we will determine if you are eligible for this special social relief. If you are, you will receive a statement from SZW. By showing this statement to the dentist, they will charge us directly for the costs of the extraction.
The reimbursements for dental care from the Healthcare Insurance Office ( ZVK) remain unchanged.
