The data displays the average costs in dental care per person under the Dutch Health Insurance Act (Zvw) from 2009 to 2015, by age (in euros). In 2015, dental care for someone from the Netherlands between zero to 20 years old would cost 107 euros per year on average.
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.
