The Dental Care Market…With so much news in the press regarding modern dentistry, one might be inclined to believe that NHS has all but eroded away. This is not necessarily the case, but finding a good NHS dentist is becoming far more difficult.The current situation affecting most people today is the issue of supply not meeting the demand.

Dental Plans Market – what is available? There are a number of differing ways in which you can insure yourself against dental treatment costs, each has certain advantages and disadvantages; 1. Cash Plan – provides limited contribution towards treatment costs. 2. Capitation Plan – covers specific treatments with a specific dentist for a fixed monthly fee. 3. Insurance Plan – Comprehensive dental cover with any registered UK dentist. Due to the way in which it is funded, capitation plans often result in ‘under treatment’ while full insurance schemes can often result in ‘over treatment’ which can reflect the motivations of the dentist concerned.
