People will be charged for a routine dental examination in future if new plans are approved by Tynwald.
The Department of Health and Social Care is planning on implementing a charge of £16.50 in March.
Over 17,000 people were seen by dentists last year for a simple check-up which involved no treatment or cleaning.
It's estimated that this will raise over £280,000 a year which will be ploughed back into a strategy to improve the Island's oral health.
Minister Howard Quayle says it is a fair charge:
Onchan Park reopening this weekend
Wetherspoons opening date confirmed
Busy Douglas road to shut again after October work
Castletown Golf Links Hotel sold
Manx Care hit with data enforcement notice by commissioner
Castletown restaurant under new management
Beware of wildfires in sunny weather!
Staff training means GP closures
