Dental Insurance

Dental accidents and emergencies are more common than you think!


More dental accidents and emergencies occur between the ages of 6 and 18 than at any other time. Regular contact sports such as rugby, hockey and football as well as a natural youthful exuberance, are often the cause of these.

Dental problems can be a frightening and emotional time for your child, often being extremely expensive to put right; and furthermore, disruptive to their schooling.

Denplan for Schools is a comprehensive dental accident and emergency plan exclusively for children at independent schools.

Denplan for Schools gives you the peace of mind that your child will have the essential cover they need, when they need it most.

Benefiting others…

I was expecting a fight, or at least a headache, when I rang Denplan after my daughter’s accident at school. To my relief I was given calm, reassuring help with filling in my claim form. And the reimbursement cheque arrived only days after our visit to the endodontist!

Mrs Aggs –Bedales School

We gave a Denplan for Schools plan for 3 of our children. This gave us considerable peace of mind while we were posted overseas knowing that the children would be covered for dental treatment when they were at school and when travelling with us. One of our sons broke his two front teeth in the school gym. The costs of his treatment were efficiently handled directly by the dentist to Denplan for Schools.
