Denplan Pre Existing Conditions
Options

My employer offer dental insurance through Denplan which I am considering taking out but I am confused about their stance on pre-existing conditions.
On our work intranet there are links to a leaflet called 'Introducing Denplan' which states "All pre-existing conditions covered"
However on the intranet there is also a link to a 'Denplan Wellbeing Benefit Table' which contains an exclusions section which states the following is excluded "Any treatment which is noted in your dental records or on a treatment plan, has been recommended by or discussed with a dentist, is known by you or is currently taking place at the date your cover starts"
I am confused by this as the second statement seems to be entirely contradictory to the first statement, although both documents are from Denplan themselves. Have I misunderstood what is meant by the term 'pre-existing condition'?
I have tried to contact Denplan but gave up after 40 minutes on hold so thought I'd try on here instead.

Ah ok so if for example I knew I had an issue with my teeth at the point that my cover starts, it would be covered as long as it's not being treated/on a treatment plan/been discussed with a dentist?0
