alibi

Does anyone have any info on charges for childrens dental care?I have an 11year old whose teeth are healthy, but may possibly need a brace. He visited our dentist in Britain before moving out and everything was O.K., but I think they are becoming a tad uneven. Perhaps I am being fussy, but we just wondered what way things work here for children...I seem to remember reading somewhere that kid's healthcare is free up to the age of 12, but I really can't remember. I have read so much info on France that I've forgotten as much as I've read!! Any info would be appreciated.
