OK as we have discussed everything els, anyone has private dental insurance? WPA seems carp for their dental cover.

Wish I had some.
Got the dentist at 2.45 tomorrow to have a badly fractured tooth pulled.
Temp filling, antibiotics and the pull are going to cost me £139.00
Then again, I visit the dentist for regular checkups and cleans so I suppose if the insurance covers those as well it would be worth getting.
Will ask about it tomorrow if I am not dribbling or screaming too much.Confusion is a natural state of being -
The plans I looked at are not that great, they say £1000 a year cover, but £1000 is divided into categories:
Max claim is £20 for each filling (can claim max 2 teeth per year)
Max £50 for Root treatment (can claim for max 3 teeth per year)
the list go on and on and on till you reach the £1000 per year
So what are the odds that you will get a filling, a root treatment, denture treatment, extractions, impacted wisdom tooth all in one year so that you'll claim the £1000? IMO in general I'd be able to claim around less than £250 per year, which is similar to the amount I am paying the insurance... so can't see the point...
Anyone knows of a better plan that doesn't have this kind of breakdown?Comment

I can't read what she writes, but let me just make a speculative guess - they did not pull her wisdom tooth out?
