Hello, this is Gangnam Leong Dental Clinic😊
The dental health of the public goes beyond simple oral care
and is directly linked to overall health.
The national oral screening conducted by the National Health Insurance Service
is an essential preventive program created for this purpose,
and adults aged 19 and older can receive it for free once every two years.
In this post, we will summarize the 2025 oral screening
eligibility, examination items, cost, and how to make a reservation!

National oral screening eligibility
If you are eligible for health screening from the National Health Insurance Service,
you can receive oral screening for free at a dental clinic designated by the Service.
✔ Eligibility
National Health Insurance subscribers and dependents
aged 19 or older
(same as national health screening eligibility)
✔ Frequency
Once every 2 years
This year is 2025, so
those born in odd-numbered years are eligible.
(Distinguishing between odd/even year births)
(If you work in a non-office job, every year;
if you work in an office job, once every 2 years)
✔ Screening institution
Dental hospitals/clinics designated
by the National Health Insurance Service
✔ Screening period
1/1 to 12/31 of the relevant year

Main items of national oral screening
Oral screening is conducted as follows,
and takes about 10 to 30 minutes,
though it may take longer depending on the situation.
| Screening item | Main content |
|---|
| Visual examination and interview | Direct visual inspection of the inside of the mouth to check for cavities, gum disease, and more |
| Oral condition evaluation | Evaluation of bite condition, abnormalities in prosthetics, and more |
| Oral health education | Guidance on proper brushing techniques, flossing, and more |

Cost and support benefits
National oral screening is fully covered by the National Health Insurance Service,
so there is no out-of-pocket cost.
However, if additional treatment is needed based on the screening results
(such as cavity treatment, prosthetics, gum treatment, etc.)
out-of-pocket expenses may apply.

🖐Question🖐
Is scaling also provided for free?
One thing many people wonder about
is 'scaling.'
Scaling is a separate item from oral screening,
so it is not free.
However, adults aged 19 and older
can receive insurance coverage once a year,
so it can be done at a lower cost.

for national oral screening.
Oral screening is one of the national health screening items,
yet even though it can be received for free,
many people miss it because it is not mandatory.

if you have not yet received scaling,
please take this opportunity to visit the dental clinic
and receive the free oral screening together with the once-a-year scaling insurance benefit.
Gangnam Leong Dental Clinic
offers late-night care until 9 p.m. on Mon/Tue/Thu,
and weekend care until 3 p.m. on Sat/Sun,
so even busy office workers
can visit and receive treatment without burden.
