What is not covered by dental insurance?

General dental treatment can only be claimed after the first 3 months from the day the plan starts. This is known as a qualifying period.
There is normally a 14-day qualifying period before you will be covered for a dental emergency.
General dental treatment and dental emergencies are not included for anyone under the age of 18, because under 18's are entitled to receive free treatment under the NHS.
Dental conditions already existing at the time of signing the policy will not be covered.
