French state to reduce the amount it contributes to your dental bills
France’s social security fund Assurance Maladie will directly refund less dental treatment in a bid to cut €500 million a year from its budget.
Its share of dental bills will drop from the standard 70% to 60% from October 1.
For people with top-up health insurance, that means their insurer will now cover 40% of treatment, up from 30%.

Red Light Face Mask Benefits
TOP RED LIGHT FACE MASK BENEFITS
Enhanced Collagen Production: One of the primary benefits of red light face masks is their ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity, tends to diminish with age, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Red light therapy can penetrate deep into the skin, activating fibroblasts that produce collagen, thereby promoting a more youthful and plump complexion. Regular use of red light face masks can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving you with smoother, firmer skin.
