Don’t Gnash Your Teeth About Visits To The Dentist, Take Out Dental Health Insurance!

November 17, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Offering an affordable way to manage the cost of looking after teeth and gums, private dental insurance works in much the same was as private health insurance but gives a choice of NHS or private dental treatment.

A recent addition to Essential Healthcare’s portfolio of health insurance services, Brian Mulreany, managing director of the insurance brokers, cites spiraling dental treatment costs as just one reason to take out the unique cover. “The Dencover 3 in 1 dental insurance cover plan can be used to budget for the whole family’s dental health. As more and more dentists push up the price of their treatments and formerly NHS registered dentists revert to private practice, dental health insurance becomes more and more of an everyday necessity.”

The extensive coverage offered by Dencover includes the recommended twice yearly check up, regular treatments, accidental damage and emergency treatment at home or abroad. Monthly premiums start at just £15.99 and are available for individuals, couples and parents and children.

A recent study by the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health found that NHS provisions introduced last year have led to an increase in private dental care. The survey of more than 5000 patients said that 20% had refused dental treatment because of high cost and 6% had treated themselves at some point.
