Why is it Important to Have Insurance as a GDC Registered Dentist or Dental Hygienist?
Dentists and Dental hygienists must also take the proper precautions to make sure they are protected against the potential challenges and risks they face in the workplace. No matter how much training you have gone through and experience you have built up, mistakes can and potentially will happen.
When treating patients, you risk facing liability charges, with some of the most common arising from the use of anesthesia, falls, burns, cuts, or slips within the dental surgery, treating or extracting the wrong tooth, or failing to fix a crown or bridge correctly. This is why it’s important to seek a comprehensive insurance policy that includes public liability and medical malpractice cover.
Depending on the injuries sustained or the problems that your patient experiences, the awards they can receive from a claim can be considerable. That is why it is so important to ensure you have the right insurance as a practising GDC registered dentist or dental hygienist. If you own a dental practice, a business insurance policy could be the difference between you continuing your business and losing your practice.
As a registered member of the General Dentist Council (GDC) you will also have the requirement to have appropriate insurance cover in place. Without this, you will no longer be able to renew or register your membership with the council.
