Dental insurance / cash plan

Hi

I just wondered if someone can point me in the right direction- I have been looking into whether or not I should get a dental plan but bit confused as to what to go for and what the difference is between a health cash plan and dental insurance

I am not with a NHS dentist as none available in my area and have to pay for 4 hygienist visits and 2 check ups a year. Total cost is £280 per year. Would either health cash plan or insurance help me?

Thanks

    4 hygienest visits ? A bit OTT, most plans only cover your for a couple of visits anyway. I prefer to pay as i go for dentistry, these plans take in more than they pay out, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
