Our Children's and Young Adult's Plan
Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. We are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. Tooth decay is one of the most common preventable diseases and to prevent it requires a commitment of time and effort. With the correct habits, there is no reason why your child should not have healthy teeth for life. Research shows that preventative dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease in children and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health.

With this in mind, we have joined with DPAS Limited to design a dental plan for children. This plan will be administered by DPAS who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plan will provide advantages to both you and to us. It will allow us to plan your child's dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping your child dentally fit. The advantage for you is that it should minimise your child's need for fillings and extractions and you will have the peace of mind that all of your child's preventative dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Our plan also provides worldwide Supplementary Insurance for dental emergencies or dental injuries whilst at home or abroad - essential cover for the rough and tumble of childhood.

If you choose to cancel your child's plan for any reason you can do so simply by giving us one month's notice.

ANY QUESTIONS?

WHAT DOES THE SUPPLEMENTARY INSURANCE COVER?
Your supplementary Insurance provides:
Cover for:
- up to £10,000 worth of treatment following
  dental injury
- temporary emergency treatment whilst away
  from home in the UK or abroad (up to the
  limits specified)
- the call-out fee charged by a dentist opening
  their surgery to treat you in an emergency
  (up to the limits specified)
- hospital cash benefit if under the care of
  an oral/maxillofacial surgeon
- cash benefit if diagnosed with oral cancer
- 24 hour access to a worldwide emergency
  helpline

The Supplementary Insurance is designed to cover the cost of temporary emergency treatment whilst you are away from home and therefore excludes the cost of emergency treatment carried out by your own dentist, a rota dentist, or any other dentist within a 15 mile radius of your practice. However, call-out fees charged by any dentist to open their surgery (including your own dentist) are recoverable up to policy limits.
In the event of a dental injury, treatment carried out by any dentist (including your own dentist) is covered up to policy limits.
Please refer to the Policy Summary and Important Information leaflet available from reception and the Policy for full details of the benefits, terms, conditions and exclusions.
