Dental Insurance Plans
While most international health insurance plans do not provide traditional dental coverage, they typically offer some limited benefits for dental emergencies such as:
- Accidental: This will help cover the cost of repairing your teeth in the event they are damaged during an accident.
- Acute onset of dental pain: Some plans also provide a limited benefit that will assist in covering the expenses of treatment in the case of unexpected dental pain.
If this minimal dental coverage does not meet your needs, you do have a few options available to help cover your dental costs.
Pay Out-Of-Pocket
This can be a costly option, especially for major dental procedures. However, most dentists will accept you as a patient even without dental insurance.
