When is a dental plan worth it?
A dental plan is most likely to be worth it if:
- You visit the dentist twice a year or more
- You include hygienist visits in your routine care
- You are likely to need fillings or more complex treatment
- You value the peace of mind of no unexpected bills
A dental plan may not be worth it if:
- You rarely visit the dentist (once a year or less)
- Your oral health is excellent with minimal treatment needs
- You only use NHS dental services
