Claim wording

Briefly ..
We're on holiday and a crown has shattered on one of my teeth
Had a temporary repair with a renewal promised before we go home.
What wording should I ask them to put on the invoice to stop the insurers avoiding payment?
"Emergency dental treatment" - will that do?

    My guess would be 

    Emergency dental treatment: temporary repair to fractured crown to relieve pain and allow normal function.

    Emergency = unplanned and necessary 
    Temporary = its not elective or cosmetic
    Pain Relief = medical necessity

    Sounds likely, but if you have access to the policy wording, you should be able to copy the relevant phrase from there?  Have you contacted the insurer yet?
