Holiday makers jetting off without dental insurance
A third of British holidaymakers are setting off for their summer holidays without dental insurance, a new survey has revealed. Research by the British Dental Health Foundation has discovered that 33% of sun-seeking sightseers admit they have no holiday dental insurance, to cover them in the event of a dental emergency.

More than half of holidaymakers (55%) admit they are unsure if their travel insurance includes adequate dental protection And only one in nine (12 per cent) Brits leave the UK knowing their travel insurance includes dental cover.
Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter OBE, says that having medical insurance when abroad is essential and advises those wishing to travel overseas this summer to make cover a priority. 
Dr Carter says: "Dental emergencies can develop at any time, whether you are at home or while you are away. They can range from painful toothaches to broken, loosened or knocked-out teeth, so it is vital that you have the right level of cover to meet any medical or dental needs”
