Worldwide trauma and emergency cover
Emergency Call out - cover can be provided by any dentist worldwide who agrees to treat you. You simply pay the emergency call out charge to the dentist concerned and collect a receipted invoice. This will then be processed through the practice for reimbursement from the insurers and you will be refunded the call out fee, minus the excess, up to the policy limits. This cover is to provide immediate pain relief only; no additional or restorative treatment fees can be claimed. You should return to the practice in normal hours for any further treatment required.
