Dental Insurance to cover a broken tooth

My tooth broke a couple of days ago, and my NHS dentist said that I could either have the tooth out on the NHS or have a root canal done at a private specialist which will cost £500. :eek:

It is too complex to be referred to the local big dentist surgery where I had my wisdom teeth out.

Is there any insurance that will cover me straight away or am I hoping for a miracle?

Any helpful suggestions appreciated.

    There's no insurance that'll cover you for a pre-existing condition, if there was then why would anyone bother with insurance? They'd just wait till something happened then phone up to get a policy.
  • I think you will find with some of the Health Cash Back plans you can do exactly that.

    They do this as most people will not bother cancelling them
