Information Zahnunfall SSO
In infants, the costs arising from dental accidents are covered by the compulsory health
insurance. Since the extent of the damage often only becomes apparent years later,
treatment may be much more expensive than anticipated.
For adults, the accident insurance will cover the costs.
