Russian residents have also become more likely to use voluntary medical insurance policies for dental treatment.
Russians began to turn to dentists in 2023. The number of payments for the services of these specialists increased by 23% over 12 months. The payments were analysed by "Rosgosstrakh", the First OFD and VTB Bank, wrote "Gazeta. Ru".
VBT cardholders last year transferred to dental clinics more than 25.2 billion rubles. This is 16% more than in 2022. The average cheque for services increased by 10%. Demand for dental services grew actively throughout the year.
Russian residents began to use voluntary medical insurance policies for dental treatment more often against the background of rising prices for dental services. Rosgosstrakh's VHI payments totalled over RUB 1.2 billion.
The demand for dental products for mass use (toothpastes, rinses and other) decreased at the end of the year.
More than 49 million goods worth more than 9.8 billion roubles were bought in shops serviced by First OFD.
This is 9% less than in 2022.
