Tesc Dental Insurance

Hi all
Just before I went away last month my lovely dentist finally had to admit defeat with a tooth that she has temporarily filled several times over the past 6 or 7 years and fit a cap at a cost of £370 :eek: .
My back teeth are all filled with very large amalgam fillings and I can feel that others are probably going in a similar direction.
I picked up a leaflet in Tesco today for dental insurance and for about £270 pa I can buy their private dental policy which will cover anything in the future, including crowns and check ups, as long as I am not currently being treated for it. The way I look at it, even with just one crown I am £100 up and if I take it out before 17th September, I get 1000 Clubcard points, which is worth £400 in deals.
All sounds good - too good :rolleyes: - and I wondered if anyone had any experience of this policy?

My dentist is telling his patients to take out Tesco private insurance.
(I think 1000 clubcard points = £40 rather than £400 deals.)I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards. I volunteer to help get your forum questions answered and keep the forum running smoothly. Forum Ambassadors are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an illegal or inappropriate post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com (it's not part of my role to deal with this).

I've also been considering this and like you think its possibly too good to be true particularly as my teeth are almost old enough to be on Antiques Roadshow.
I'm working my way through the Tesco Dental Insurance Members Handbook (Tesco website) which covers all the facts relating to conditions and limitations. I suggest that you also have a look as it runs to 17 pages and includes more detail than an in store leaflet0
