Brits Put Off Visiting Dentist

Dental treatments are becoming more and more expensive, so much so that many Brits cannot afford them and are putting off visiting the dentist simply due to the large costs.

The poll that produced these findings was carried out by Tesco Dental Insurance, showing that 40 percent of all Brits are put off going to the dentist as they expect the bill to be too expensive for them to pay.

Out of those who took part in the poll, those based in the south-east of England were the most worried about dental costs.

Jeremy Sutton, head of MoneyHighStreet.com, said ‘Given the current economic situation many people are worried about spending money. Receiving important dental treatment is essential to overall health as well as oral health.’

There are a number of other firms providing dental insurance in the UK, including Medibroker, the Hospital Saving Association and Dencover.
