Why take out Dental Cover
Dental cover is an affordable, flexible health benefit that’s simple to administer. Unum Dental has been developed and built around evolving modern-day customer needs. It offers wide-ranging plans and immediate cover for preventative care and key restorative treatments.
So Unum’s dental insurance not only strengthens a benefits offering, but also contributes to maintaining the health and wellbeing of a workforce.
21% of employees - equivalent to 6.3 million people of working age – avoided dental appointments in 2023 due to the cost-of-living crisis*
*Research carried out by Censuswide between 2nd - 9th October 2023 amongst a nationally representative sample of 3,025 full-time and part-time British employees
