One minute you’re enjoying the local Kashmir bread, olives in Santorini… the next you’re in agony from a broken tooth as you unexpectedly chomp down on an extra pebble the locals threw in for good luck.
It’s hard to enjoy the sights when you can’t eat without gasping in pain which is why you need Dental Travel Insurance.
How does travel insurance cover overseas dental?
If you start experiencing pain to what were healthy natural teeth our policies cover pain relieving treatment as a result of:
- A broken or chipped tooth
- A lost filling
- An unexpected dental infection
- If you injure your mouth in an accident ( i.e. you fall over and knock a tooth out)
Policy limits, terms and conditions of cover vary depending on the policy you buy and your past dental history. It's a good idea to read through your policy, so you're not caught out with uncovered expenses.
What isn’t covered?
Travel insurance is there for dental emergencies. That’s why we won’t cover:
- General check-ups including cleaning or x-rays – you should get these done at home before you go
- Major dental work including crowns, dentures, bridges and implants
- Cosmetic work such as getting your teeth straightened or whitened in Thailand
- If the symptoms occurred before you bought your policy
- Non-emergency treatment that can wait for you to get home
This is not a full list of what's covered and what's not covered. There are limits and conditions that apply, so for more information check out our article on dental cover and read your policy carefully before you buy.
