Does private health insurance usually help with dental costs?

A lot of people are unsure what their extras cover actually includes for dental.

Depending on the fund and level of cover, benefits may apply to things like:

• check-ups
• cleans
• x-rays
• fillings
• major dental treatment

The amount covered can vary a lot, and annual limits, waiting periods and preferred provider arrangements can all make a difference.

Have you found your extras cover worthwhile for dental, or not really?
