On average each year 1,600 members of Dentists' Provident are affected by an accident or illness, of whom around 200 may not ever return to work and may require financial assistance and support until they reach retirement age.

With assets in excess of £150 million, Dentists' Provident is able to offer these dentists replacement income and financial peace of mind. As a provider of income protection insurance to dentists, it was formed by dentists for dentists. It is the only organisation in the country that provides income protection benefits exclusively to dentists and has done so for approaching 100 years.

Dentists' Provident advises that attention to detail is vital. Modern dentistry plays host to a range of different contracts offering different levels of sickness and accident cover.
