Dental insurance

Dental insurance

It pays to look after your teeth - after all, they are the only set you have.

But it can be costly too. Did you know that something like a crown can cost as much as £406 if you have a private dentist and £198 on the NHS? (source: www.whatprice.co.uk)

With Tesco Dental Insurance you can help to manage the cost of taking care of your teeth.
