Dental care in Finland is not free, only heavily subsidized. The prices vary a bit from district to district, here are the prices for Helsinki http://www.hel.fi/hki/terke/en/Patient+Fees/Table+of+patient...

So for example removal of tooth would be: dentist 9.60 € /visit + tooth removal 13.80 – 27.50 €

You are right of course, I just count it as "free" when the payment is pretty much symbolic compared to the real cost.
