Dental insurance, Yes or No?

Alfrescodave

With teeth now being 50 years old, the regular trip to the dentist more often than not results in having to have expensive treatment (no NHS dentist). What are peoples views on whether to take out insurance - which spreads the load but still a significant cost.

Does anyone have any dental plan recommendations?

Complete removal of all teeth as a one-off cost is not something that I would like to consider!!

I have used Boots Dental Insurance fro a few years now the £9 a month plan and have not had any claims questioned they just paid out promptly.

Does your regular dentist have a plan he/she promotes?

If they do, then they are used to the paperwork that goes with this plan, and there isn't likely to be any additional costs.

If it's some other plan that requires a different form to be filled in by the dentist, then some dentists charge for this, as ,to be honest, it can be a right royal pain in the butt somethimes looking through them all and trying to fill them in accurately!

Not the best Dental Insurance , more accidental , but you can get a year free from AXA ,

"No matter how carefully you brush, floss and rinse, it won't protect your teeth if you have an unexpected accident.

That's why the Dental Accident Starter plan from AXA PPP healthcare provides such valuable cover. It gives you access to fast, expert help around the clock, no matter where you are and JS Insurance are delighted to offer this cover free of charge for one year - there's no catch, so why not give it a try
