I know that most have a 3 month period before you can claim

    I have used these for 11 years now, very good. More than just dental.

    I've had an HSA one for just over a year. Seems quite expensive at 50 a month for the whole family and this year they have cut their cover from 75% of bill to just 50% of bill. But consider, I paid nearly 4000 in dentist bills last year including major work on my wifes teeth. Boy was I glad I'd taken out the plan then and got in excess of 75% of that back.
    There seem to be a few to chose from but none are perfect.

    Does your work have a plan?

    Our work one was something like £20 a month for loads of benefits. Since they stopped it the closest cover was twice the price :(

    no plan at work, to be honest health issues are the last thing on their mind

    I pay £17.50 IIRC with BHSF and it covers most of the stuff during the course of the year for both myself and other half.

    Also a nice £500 on the birth of our baby coming our way from it.
