Basic dental care plays an essential role in the health and well-being of households. For South African families, routine check-ups can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other complications. Yet, the cost of dental visits often discourages many from seeking timely care. Access to affordable dental benefits ensures that everyone in your family receives necessary care without the burden of high out-of-pocket expenses.
Regular dental visits are particularly important for children, helping to establish good hygiene habits and prevent future oral health issues. Adults also benefit from early treatment, reducing the risk of medical complications linked to untreated oral conditions.
Affinity Health offers budget-friendly options designed to fit diverse family needs, with selected plans that include basic dental benefits as well as additional day-to-day healthcare cover. Affordable premiums help make high-quality dental care accessible to more South Africans. For example, basic day-to-day plans start from as little as R636 for adults and R468 for children, with dental benefits included in the annual limits.
Access to an extensive network of dental healthcare practitioners ensures that families can receive care in both urban and rural locations. Search for an approved provider near you at Affinity Health’s provider locator.
When selecting basic dental benefits as part of your family health insurance, it’s important to evaluate benefit limits, inclusions, and monthly premiums. Cost-effective plans like those from Affinity Health provide meaningful dental benefits without costly extras that may go unused by average families.
