Edenred's dental benefit gives you a reason to smile

Edenred's range of employee benefits has expanded in a jaw-dropping way: now a dental benefit is also available. Edenred Dental is a modern and cost-effective way to maintain the overall health of employees by taking care of employees' smiles and dental health.

Instructions for activating and using the benefit can be found at the end of this article.
Here you can check all the clinics, where you can use Edenred Dental.

What can the dental benefit be used for?

Often, a long time may pass without dental checkups. When an employee needs to visit a dental hygienist or other treatment procedure, the dental benefit covers such visits and lowers the threshold for dental care. Regular dental care also affects the overall well-being of employees and prevents diseases. The dental benefit is intended for the most usual care procedures that maintain dental health.

The dental benefit offered by Edenred can be used, among other things:

• For dental checkups
• For patching dental cavities
• For calculus removal
• For a personal gift card that can be used for the procedures mentioned above or medically justified orthodontic treatment

Edenred Dental can't be used for aesthetic procedures, such as teeth whitening.

The employer chooses service providers from Edenred's network where employees can use their benefit

As when ordering Edenred's massage benefit, the employer also selects the chains and service providers from Edenred's network where their employees can use their dental benefit. In this case, the instructions of the Tax Administration on offering a tax-free dental benefit are followed. Edenred offers an easy tool for this, which makes it easy to create contracts online.

We strongly recommend employers to choose all dental care service providers available in Edenred's network. The wider choice options employees are offered to use the benefit, the more flexible and easier it is to use the benefit. Flexibility and ease ensure that employees also use their benefits.

The Edenred Dental benefit can be given tax-free up to 3,000 euros per year

Edenred's dental benefit is a tax-free benefit up to 3,000 euros per year. The general validity period of the benefit is 2 years. The dental benefit also works in MyChoice, which enables the beneficiary to transfer the balance (within the limits of the maximum amounts determined by the Tax Administration) between the Massage benefit, the Transport benefit and the Virike benefit according to their own preferences. The MyChoice feature can be found in the MyEdenred application, where beneficiaries can check their balance, manage their benefits and information, and easily find places to use the benefits from the Merchant Search.

How does the virtual Dental benefit work?

Edenred Dental is a completely virtual benefit that employees only need a smart device to use, i.e. a phone or smartwatch. To start using the benefit, the beneficiary must first activate the virtual Dental card.

This is how you use the dental care benefit:

1. Go to your MyEdenred account and look for a dental benefit in the menu
2.  Go to "card details" and select "activate card"
3. Activate your virtual card by entering the serial number of the card and your personal security number. You can find the serial number of the virtual card in the email you received from Edenred.
   Note: if you can't find an email, check your MyEdenred app profile under which email address is associated with your MyEdenred account.
4. Add your virtual Dental card to Apple Pay or Google Wallet and pay easily and securely with contactless payment. After you have activated the benefit, you can find your virtual card information under the dental care benefit under the "Card details" section.
5. Your employer will either load the balance directly into your dental benefit or you can alternatively transfer the balance from another benefit using MyEdenred's MyChoice feature. You can use the dental care benefit up to 3,000 euros per year, so you can transfer the desired amount up to 3,000 euros, depending on how you have a benefit balance to transfer.
6. Ready! You can now pay with your dental benefit in all dental clinics chosen by your employer.
7. Book an appointment at the dental clinic of your choice, which can be found in our Merchant Search.
   If you are not sure whether all the dental clinics offered by our Merchant search are included in your contract, check with your employer.
