Travel Insurance Dental Coverage
Emergency medical policies do not cover regular dentist visits and check-ups.
Coverage is available though for “accidental” dental and emergency dental pain.
One company’s policy reads as follows:
“Up to a maximum limit of $4,000.00 for dental expenses you incur while on your trip for an accidental blow to the face requiring the repair or replacement of sound natural teeth or permanently attached artificial teeth. All treatment must be initiated within 48 hours from the time the emergency began and completed no later than 90 days after the treatment began.
Up to a maximum limit of $500.00 for dental expenses you incur while on your trip for any other dental emergencies other than pain caused by an accidental blow to the face. All treatment must be initiated within 48 hours from the time the emergency began and completed no later than 90 days after the treatment began.”
