How Sweden’s dental care support works

General dental care allowance (ATB)

You may receive the general dental care allowance from the year you turn 20 if you are insured in Sweden. In 2026, the annual allowance is SEK 600 for ages 20–23, SEK 300 for ages 24–65, and SEK 600 from the year you turn 67. Those turning 66 in 2026 receive SEK 600 under a temporary rule. The allowance is credited on 1 July and can be saved until the following year.

Special dental care allowance (STB)

The special dental care allowance is SEK 1,000 every six months for eligible patients with certain illnesses or disabilities. Your dentist or dental hygienist assesses eligibility and the documentation required.

Standard high-cost protection

You pay the full reference price up to SEK 3,000, then 50% up to SEK 15,000 and 15% of any amount above that.

Frequently asked questions

No. The enhanced high-cost protection with special dental care reimbursement cannot be used for treatments included in a dental care subscription.

The reference prices are taken from the Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency’s (TLV) regulation HSLF-FS 2025:68, effective from 1 January 2026. For treatments covered by the enhanced dental high-cost protection, the clinic may not charge more than the reference price.

You pay 10% of the reference price for eligible treatments. If the clinic’s price is lower than the reference price, you pay 10% of the lower price. For treatments that are not included, such as examinations and X-rays, the standard high-cost protection applies.

Everyone registered as a resident in Sweden is entitled to the support from the year they turn 67. You do not need to apply—your dentist can see your eligibility automatically and deduct the reimbursement from your bill.
