Children's membership plan

We strive to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. To ensure we maintain the high standards our patients have come to expect, we are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. Tooth decay is one of the most common preventable diseases and to prevent it requires a commitment of time and effort. With the correct habits, there
is no reason why your child should not have healthy teeth for life. Research shows that preventative dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease in children and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health.

We encourage such an approach and with this in mind, we have joined with DPAS Limited to design a dental plan for children. This plan will be administered by DPAS who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plan will provide advantages both to you and to us. It will allow us to plan your child’s dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping your child dentally t. The advantage for you is that it should minimise your child’s need for fillings and extractions and you will have the peace of mind that all of your child’s preventative dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments.

Sorriso Dentistry Children’s Plan is designed for those parents or guardians who wish their children to participate in a regular preventative care programme and to spread the cost on a monthly basis. Upon joining the dental plan, you will also be eligible to request assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme for dental emergencies or dental traumas whilst at home or abroad (see overleaf ) - essential cover for the rough and tumble of childhood.

• The cost of your child’s preventative dental care is included
• Payment by convenient monthly Direct Debit, allowing you to spread the cost on a monthly basis
• Guaranteed registration with the practice and continuing access to your child’s dentist
• No need for an assessment – you can enrol your child immediately
• Early identi cation of dental problems to prevent pain, discomfort and inconvenience
• Appointment times to suit your child whenever possible
• Priority bookings in the event of a dental emergency
• Discount on treatment fees
• Access to a 24 hour dental emergency helpline 365 days per year
• Eligibility to request assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme (see overleaf ).

Joining is very simple. There is no need for an assessment. All you have to do is complete a registration form, together with a direct debit mandate and authorisation form for DPAS, on behalf of your child.

In addition to your rst monthly payment, an initial registration fee of £10 per child will be payable by you to DPAS and will be included in your rst Direct Debit payment.

If you choose to cancel your child’s plan for any reason you can do so by simply giving us one month’s notice.

You will have access to a 24 hour, 365 day worldwide dental emergency helpline, which will endeavour to nd an English speaking dentist to assist you.
