That’s a can of worms that we just can’t open here and frankly, we’ve got no idea!
What we will say is it pays to do your homework. Find out what the benefits and cost savings are if you were to join a fund versus paying the full fee for dental as you need it.
In our experience, for the majority of people, if you maintain good oral health at home, and go to the dentist every six months to catch small problems before they get big and costly, you might do better to consider not paying the additional premiums each month for dental cover.
However, if you think you’re always going to need just that extra bit of dental work each year, then by all means take up dental cover.
We know that seems like we are sitting on the fence but unfortunately, it’s a tricky subject and one heavily contested in the media and healthcare industry. Our advice is to take up the offer by privately run companies online that help you find a health insurer that meets all your needs both financially and matched services tailored to your health care. Their mission is to pull the rug out from under health insurance companies and make the system more transparent and clear for patients. This is a mission close to AirSmile’s heart too so it’s no surprise we encourage you to check them out.
