Possible to get two dental insurances?
Hi all, First thread on this forum. I have a dental insurance through work and it is very good. My teeth aren't that great and I will need a few crowns over the next few years, so I was wondering if it would be possible to get a second dental insurance? Asking because it could save me some big £££.

It's also important that I am able to check them before I buy them. Can I…
