In 2021, average annual costs in the Netherlands for dental care under the Dutch Health Insurance Act (Zvw) for someone between zero to 20 years amounted to 137 euros per person. This is the highest value for any age group, and the highest value for the period under consideration.
The Dutch health insurance system as it is now was introduced in 2006 and combines elements of both public as well as private insurance. It is mandatory to have at least a basic health insurance (in Dutch: basisverzekering) when you work in the Netherlands, because healthcare is funded through taxation of income.
