Dentist - covered by insurance? I still don't get it.

I don't know what the EHIC card has to do with your teeth as you have been living and working in Malta for two years.

You will have to pay for your dental treatment as it is not covered by the Maltese health system.

Dental treatment on Malta is usually good and not expensive. Your EHIC is invalid. Just go into a dentist and ask 'how much?' And then pay, as mostly everyone else does. (Some exemptions, obviously, emergency etc.)

ehics are only valid for tourist stays of upto 3months and for emergency care only - although they can be valid for longer stays (upto one year)  - but are immediately invalidated once you are resident - sadly many people are continuing to use them for hospital treatment illegally..... so as far as i am concerned the more the hospitals start to check people for paying taxes and SSC / NI in EU Member states the better.

did you pay for dental treatment in Austria?

wow, now I'm confused, I was also under assumption that since I'm paying NI i'm in title to free dental service, as well as my kids

so every dental treatment in public clinics or hospital is charged?
And for kids?

and toon, I for exp (and my wife and my kids) had free dental treatments in croatia, only things I ever payed were white filings, instead of free metal ones
