Dental Insurance
Why
do I need dental insurance?
It is getting increasilngly difficult
to register with an NHS dentist. Some patients, who have been with the same
dental practise for years, are being told that the practise is going private.
People who are moving to a new area are finding it impossible
to register with an NHS dentist in some areas. So
if you choose a private dentist, or are forced to register with a private dentist
you may have to make the decision whether to pay for treatment as and when it
is required, or to take out a dentail insurance policy to cover dental treatment
that is required.
I don't want
dental insurance, I want an NHS dentist!
The problem is, you may
not be able to find an NHS dental practise that will take on new patients.
The Government have said that they plan to create new NHS dentist jobs, open
new dental access centres in areas where people have experienced difficulty
signing up at an NHS dentist and offering 3 year contracts to dentists taking
on new NHS patients.
Unless working as an NHS dentist is made more attractive, more and more dentists
will opt to move to the more lucrative private dental sector.
What does dental
insurance cover?
This depends on the exact terms
and conditions of your particular policy. Many policies
will not cover routine work such as a check up or a scale and polish. Some dental
insurance policies will not cover on going issues that were present prior to commencing
the insurance policy. Check the small print carefully to find out exactly what
the policy covers.
What types
of dental insurance are available?
In
common with other insurance products, there are a number of different types
of policy.
Some will pay a maximum amount per year to cover treatment.
You may also be able to get a health
insurance policy that covers dental treatment.
