Dental Membership scheme on DMP

Kaleidoscope1972

Hi

Im on a DMP and have been for quite a few months. Ive registered with a private dentist and they are suggesting I go on their membership scheme as treatment will work out cheaper. Is there a chance I will be turned down for it? I suspect its like an insurance plan, Id rather avoid the embarrassment and just say no:cool:

Normally it's Just a direct debit payment out of your account every month. There's no credit agreement so no credit check . The only problem may be setting up a new dd if you are on a dmp.

ah thanks, I will advise Payplan that I am going on this so that they can calculate my DMP accordingly, Im going to ask them to look at it anyway as I can afford to pay a bit more.

How much is it? - you are allowed an amount for medical/dental treatment anyway on your budget....

used to sell these, no credit check they are too desparate to have your money.

check carefully what is covered and remember if you need a lot of treatment, you still need to pay lab bills on top of the monthly payment

its £13.50 a month, sadly no NHS dentist so no choice, but yes its just basic cover like check ups etc, everything else is chargeable, but cheaper than if I didnt have the plan, I have a rotten tooth with an abcess but looking at their fees, I will be asking for an extraction rather than root canal work!

I'm on a dmp with a denplan thing, it hasn't caused any problems, although for us, as a family, it takes us over the maximum allowable for the dental treatment allowance, so we off-set it elsewhere - by saying we buy magazines or something!
