Buying dental insurance can prove less expensive than relying on the NHS or a private dentist it has been claimed by Tesco Finance.
Estimating the typical six monthly check up at the dentist to cost GBP15.90 on the NHS or GBP40 privately and adding in one piece of dental work, such as a crown, Tesco Finance ran the numbers to see which option would prove best. They took the normal price of a crown as GBP194 on the NHS or GBP341 privately.
In a one year period then, with two check ups and one crown being fitted Tesco Finance calculated the total cost of NHS dental treatment to be GBP225.80, whilst a private dental practice would charge GBP421. This compares with an annual dental insurance premium of GBP107.40 using an NHS service, or GBP203.40 using a private one. Clearly there are savings of almost GBP120 to GBP150 available.

As the credit crunch adds to the strain many families are facing, Legal and General are advising people to look at financial protection products to help ease the stress.
A Legal and General spokesman highlighted the key areas that the credit crunch is impacting on, with mortgage rates on the rise, fuel and food costing much more year on year and council tax bills also eating into what are relatively unchanged incomes. If anything were to happen to those bringing the income in then the family would very quickly face difficulties.
The Legal and General view is that family protection is essential and they offer monthly income replacement cover for a defined period should the holder of the policy suffer a critical illness or pass away.
