I need quite extensive dental work what insurance plan should i choose
Q. Hi Dr Rob I need quite extensive dental work which I have put off for many years due toi the escalating expense, I have put off at least 3 root canals, my front teeth have gone wonky so I need a brace, and I need to replace both my caps and I probably need at least another two caps, this obviously is hugely above my budget, and I don’t realy want to travel to Bulgaria or Poland to get treatment, what Dental Insurance would be the most comprehensive with full cover with no excess – and if it would cover an Anaesthesiologist if I wanted to have everything done in one go, as I have an extreme fear of Dentists. I am sorry i seem alarmist but I need to sort this problem out asap! Best regards

I can’t give direct insurance advice as i am not registered with the FSA. I advise checking the small print to see how long you need to be in the scheme before you can claim and what the maximum claim (in total and for individual items) is in any one year. Some may cover sedation fees.
Most root canal treatments take up a treatment session under sedation. Given the volume of work you think is needed 5 or more sessions is realistic.
If you would like to find out more about our sedation sessions for anxious patients please call our Birmingham Practice on 0121 643 0610
