Why aren’t you accepting medical card patients?

Our dentists are required to be registered to the medical card scheme in order to treat medical card patients. Unfortunately, our practices are no longer accepting new medical card patients. For existing medical card patients, we will of course complete any outstanding treatment plans but will not be able to start any new treatments going forward.

Since we reopened our doors after lockdown there is a need for additional PPE to meet the safety standards required. Global demand during the pandemic has also increased the cost for PPE significantly. The Government is not providing PPE for medical card treatments and unfortunately it is not possible for us to cover the additional cost whilst ensuring the practice remains open to treat patients in the long term.
