We will all more than likely need some kind of dental treatment at some point in our lives. As much as we clean and floss our teeth, the occasional dental treatment is inevitable and hopefully, no serious dental incidents will occur but accidents do happen.

If such an incident was to occur or even if you just want to spread the costs of dental and hygienist appointments, then Denplan insurance may be the way forward. Below, we explore Denplan Essentials, what exactly does it include? How can you join and what happens in an emergency?

What does Denplan Essentials include?

• You are entitled to an agreed number of dental and hygienist appointments per year
• X-rays
• Planning and advice on treatments
• 15% discount on treatments such as:-
• Restorations (fillings)
• Root canal treatment
• Tooth removal
• Provision of crowns
• Provision of bridges and dentures
• Advanced periodontal treatment

What else do you receive?

• You will get dental injury cover for up to £10,000 per incident.
• Temporary emergency dental treatment in the UK and overseas (UK up to £400, overseas up to £450)
• Up to £62 per night for a hospital stay in relation to a head or neck condition
• Up to £12,000 towards a course of mouth cancer treatment (smokers are included) for up to 18 months after diagnosis

How to join Denplan Essentials

Firstly, your dentist will want to assess your teeth and gums and then ascertain the monthly payment, which will cover your preventative dental care. You will be advised of the number of visits you will need for the year. You are able to leave the plan for any reason and at any time by simply giving the dental practice one month’s notice.

What happens if there is an emergency?

There is 24 hour access to a worldwide dental emergency helpline, available all year around. It offers help and advice in the event of an emergency so you can feel safe and secure wherever you are every day of the year.
