Most of insurance company doesn’t cover dental treatment. Even with the National Health Insurance and Social Insurance, there is an adjustment and limitation to the coverage of the treatment. This is because daily dental care at home can prevent dental problems and payment for the insurance premium would be expensive to cover the routine dental check-up, dental treatment, etc. Our company’s insurance covers a basic need, which is why the premium was made affordable for everyone to be able to join. As for the dental treatment, we recommend you to have daily care of your teeth and, once every six months to one year regular dental check-up. Even with dental treatment, if done during the early stages of tooth decay the dental fee wouldn’t be that expensive. That is why we recommend having a regular dental check-up. It is cheaper and more reasonable to pay the dental fee rather than pay the high priced insurance premium.
