Oral healthcare

We offer appointments with dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants. Appointments must always be booked in advance. You can book an appointment online or by phone. When booking an appointment, we will assess what kind of treatment you need and how urgently you need it.

If your municipality of residence is located outside the South Ostrobothnia region, you can receive urgent treatment if:

  • you are studying in the South Ostrobothnia region
  • you have a payment commitment
  • you have exercised your freedom of choice and chosen the Wellbeing Services County of South Ostrobothnia as your place of treatment.
