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

What does travel insurance cover for overseas emergency dental treatment?  

Our plans may cover dental expenses if you need to see a dentist while traveling for the immediate relief of sudden pain to healthy, natural teeth for things like: 

  • An unexpected infection. 
  • Chipped or broken your tooth.  
  • Injuries to your mouth or jaw due an accident. 

You may have coverage under the emergency medical section of your plan for things like: 

  • The services of a physician or dentist. 
  • X-rays, treatments and lab tests. 
  • Hospital fees. 

Limits, terms and conditions of coverage vary depending on the plan you buy and your past dental history. The pain or injury must have occurred while you were on your trip. When you get a quote, you can compare the plans side-by-side to determine which one might be right for you.  

Travel insurance tip:Your dental illness or injury must be confirmed in writing by your treating medical practitioner. You must get copies of all medical and dental records, reports and clinical notes before you leave the hospital or medical facility as well as original receipts to document your expenses so we may verify your claim. Coverage is limited to the amount shown in your plan wording. 

What’s not covered 

Travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything. Here are things we don’t cover: 

  • General check-ups and routine maintenance. 
  • Getting your teeth straightened. 
  • 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, or any medical bills related to a pre-existing condition, unless you purchased the Epic or Explorer plan during the time-sensitive period were medically able to travel at the time of purchase.
  • Non-emergency treatment that can wait until you return home (it's not health insurance; it's for travel emergencies).

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.
