Dental check-ups for adults

For check-ups performed by a dentist, the city provides service vouchers, including comprehensive care service vouchers (KOHO) and examination and treatment service vouchers (TUTHO).

When using a KOHO service voucher, the share of the client and visit fees you need to pay (deductible) remains consistent with Helsinki's oral health care services.

Utilising a TUTHO service voucher might entail a higher deductible than what's typically associated with Helsinki's oral health care services.

However, it is important to note that both KOHO and TUTHO service vouchers could potentially result in elevated dental technician fees and increased laboratory costs compared to the city's own services.

Should you prefer to avoid the prospect of a higher deductible, we will ensure an alternative path for accessing dental care in accordance with treatment guarantee legislation.

Your check-up interval will be determined by the examining dentist based on your individual treatment requirements. Typically, adults in good overall health with a healthy mouth and teeth find that an oral and dental check-up every 2 to 3 years is sufficient. The exact length of your individual check-up interval takes into account factors like general health, oral health status, healthy lifestyle practices, and self-care habits.
