hello!
so, I've been living in Malta for 7 months now and I developed some major problems with a tooth that already bothered me in the past. Here's something I still don't get - also my maltese co-workers couldn't really tell me:
I have a social security number that entitles me to free treatment at the hospital?!
What about the dentist? What if I have an emergency.. to be honest, I tried to ignore it for much to long and I have in fact something one might consider an emergency, I'm pretty sure what remains of my tooth needs to be pulled out to avoid an infection.
Dummie question - WHAT DO I DO?
pay at some dentist or go to the hospital? Where I come from dental care is free.
Thanks in advance.
