I use these guys,

http://www.zilverenkruis.nl/apps/zka...m?Opendocument

These pages are in English, and also has the Dutch legislation on this page.

Quality of the medical care in Holland is excellent. Quick, clean, and high quality IMO.

If you take out insurance, a good dental insurance is a must.

If? I believe it's legally-mandatory to take out health insurance. Dental is optional.

Disagree...Dutch dentists can only charge an amount set by the government for each procedure..which means there is no incentive to them to offer anything beyond a basic no frills service....it keeps costs down but does not allow for much dental TLC.
I cancelled my dental insurance as the annual premium was way more than our annual dental bills even if we had treatment so I'd say save the premium monthly and do 'pay as you go'. This advice is especially true when talking about policies which only pay out up to a fairly low maximum each year.
