Having dental travel insurance can mean the difference between a taste adventure or a disaster.
Whether you’re sampling the ktefa in Morocco or taking the durian challenge in Thailand, sudden and serious pain in your teeth can stop you in your tracks.
What’s covered?
All of our policies can cover emergency dental treatment overseas if you urgently need to see a dentist for the immediate relief of sudden and acute pain to your teeth while traveling if:
- You've get an unexpected infection
- You've broken your tooth
- You injure your mouth or jaw in an accident
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, contact our emergency assistance team who will help you locate a qualified dentist nearby.
What’s not covered?
Travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything. Common dental claims we see where there's no cover include:
- Dental work other than that related to emergency dental pain relief
- Cosmetic dentistry or whitening
- Pre-existing dental problems
- Major dental work, such as crowns, dentures, bridges and implants
- Any dental treatment after your return to the UK
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.
How to get dental assistance
If you need urgent dental treatment, which cannot wait until your return home or you're in a serious accident, it’s essential that you get in contact with our emergency assistance teams as soon as possible so that we can support you.
So that our Emergency Assistance teams can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:
- Your policy number
- A contact number for where you are now
- The nature of your problem
- Your location
If you've already visited a dentist and received emergency treatment, you can submit your claim online.
I bit on something hard
We were in Byblos, Lebanon and bought a Labneh (local cheese and olive) wrap from a cafe. Whilst eating the wrap I bit down on something hard, it turned out to be a massive olive stone. The stone cracked 3 of my teeth. One completely cracked and the other two damaged. It was incredibly painful. Fortunately the person we were staying with contacted their dentist who opened up their surgery that evening and treated me.

You can still purchase a World Nomads policy if you have a Pre-Existing Medical Condition (PEMC) – whether it is serious or not – but we won’t cover any claim/s made by any traveller under the policy as a result of this condition (this includes if you’re on separate or joint policies). This exclusion can’t be removed from the policy.
The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) has a travel insurance directory on its Money Advice Service website, or you can contact the service on 0800 138 7777. This service provides details on what may be considered a PEMC, and travel insurance providers that may cover serious PEMCs, which may assist travellers wanting cover for these conditions.
