When it comes to employee wellbeing there is a definite link between oral health, happiness, and self-esteem. The healthiness of the mouth, teeth, and gums affects everyone’s enjoyment of life.
It can affect the way we eat, speak, smile, and feel. Yet many employees have difficulty accessing cost-effective dental treatment for themselves and their children due to the lack of NHS dentists. Additionally, many existing NHS practices are not taking on new clients.
A Company Dental Plan is a policy that covers the cost of dental check-ups and treatment, which can be through the NHS or privately. It allows an employer to support and encourage employees to proactively look after their everyday dental healthcare.

We all only have one set of teeth so avoiding extraction if possible is important. But here is a very common story: A young male employee was suffering from persistent toothache and visited the dentist. The problem was identified, and the two options were an extraction of the tooth or saving it with root canal work. Unfortunately, the cost of the root canal work (which had to be carried out by a private dentist) was £800!! This, due to cost was not a viable option, and therefore the employee proceeded with the extraction option.
Had a Company Dental Plan been in place, meaning part of the cost could be claimed back, the decision would have been a different one.
