Emergency dental coverage when traveling abroad

For when pain wipes the smile off your face.

    Trusted by:

  • Trusted by:

Broken or chipped teeth can happen at any time. It can be seeded bread in Berlin, olives in Athens or dried fish in Krasnodar. If pain suddenly strikes, World Nomads travel insurance can cover the emergency dental treatment you need to get relief so you can keep traveling.

What does travel insurance cover for overseas dental? 

If you have to see a dentist while traveling for the immediate relief of sudden pain to healthy, natural teeth you can be covered if:

  • You get an unexpected infection.
  • You've broken your tooth.
  • You injure your mouth or jaw in an accident.
  • Your pre-existing condition leads to a clinical emergency.

Not all of our policies are the same. Limits, terms and conditions of cover vary depending on the policy you buy and your past dental history.

What’s not covered

Travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything. Terms, conditions and exclusions apply, so be sure to read your full policy wording to avoid surprises. Here are the main things that aren't covered:

  • General check-ups.
  • Getting your teeth straightened in Thailand.
  • New teeth or fillings following pain relieving treatment.
  • Major dental work, such as crowns, dentures, bridges and implants.
  • If you've bought a policy after the pain has set in.
  • Non-emergency treatment that can wait until you return home (it's not health insurance, it's for travel emergencies).

If you purchase your policy after you’ve already left your home country, there is a 72 hour waiting period before cover begins.

This is not a full list of what's covered and what's not covered. It is important that you read and understand your policy before you travel as your coverage is subject to certain limitations and exclusions.

I bit on something hard

A bone chipped my front tooth, on the top row, and cracked it. Blood started to run down so I had an emergency visit to the dentist to repair it.
