Travel Dental Coverage: What Generali Global Assistance May Cover for Emergency Dental Care Abroad

Wondering does travel protection cover dental emergencies? Generali Global Assistance offers dental coverage  as part of its travel protection plans, helping travelers manage unexpected dental injuries or pain while abroad. Learn what can bes covered, how coverage varies by plan, and how to file a claim.

Why Dental Travel Insurance Matters

Dental emergencies can strike anywhere—on a cruise, during a hike, or while enjoying a meal abroad. When they do, travelers need fast, reliable support—just like they would for any medical emergency.

Generali Global Assistance includes Medical and Dental coverage in its travel protection plans, offering peace of mind through upfront payment for covered medical and dental emergencies. This means travelers can focus on getting care—not navigating paperwork.

What Travel Dental Coverage May Cover

Our Medical and Dental coverage is designed to help address pain or injury that occurs during your trip. Coverage includes:

• Treatment for broken or cracked teeth
• Infections or abscesses
• Urgent dental issues requiring immediate care

Coverage applies only to treatment received during the trip, not after returning home. For example, if you crack a tooth while on a cruise and receive treatment from the ship’s doctor, that care may be covered.

We do not cover cosmetic procedures such as veneers, as these are considered elective and not medically necessary. Our focus is on helping travelers manage pain and prevent complications from dental injuries sustained during their trip.

Common Scenarios Where Dental Coverage Can Apply

Here are examples of when travel dental coverage can help:

• Broken Tooth on a Cruise: A traveler slips on a wet deck and cracks a tooth. The onboard medical team provides pain relief and temporary treatment.
• Tooth Injury During Sports: A vacationer playing beach volleyball gets hit in the mouth, resulting in a chipped tooth and bleeding gums. Immediate care is needed to stop the bleeding and manage pain.
• Sudden Toothache Abroad: While exploring a remote village, a traveler experiences severe tooth pain and seeks emergency treatment at a local clinic.
• Accidental Impact While Sightseeing: A traveler bumps into a railing while taking photos, causing a dental injury that requires urgent care.
• Dental Trauma from Food: A hard bite into a piece of candy or bone causes a cracked molar, prompting a visit to a nearby dentist for pain relief.

These scenarios highlight the importance of having travel protection that includes emergency dental benefits. Dental injuries can be painful and disruptive, and receiving care quickly is essential to avoid further complications.

Coverage Levels Across Travel Protection Plans

Generali Global Assistance offers three plan tiers, each with different limits for Medical & Dental coverage:

All plans include Medical and Dental coverage, but the reimbursement limits vary. Travelers heading to destinations with high medical costs or those seeking maximum benefits may prefer the Premium Plan.

Upfront Payment for Covered Medical Emergencies

One stand-out feature of our travel protection plans is our policy to make upfront payments for covered inpatient medical emergencies, when possible. When a traveler experiences a qualifying medical or dental emergency, in many cases, we work directly with the provider to arrange payment, allowing the traveler to focus on recovery.

This benefit is especially helpful in countries where medical and dental care can be expensive or where upfront payment is required before treatment.

Timing Is Key: Treatment Must Occur During the Trip

Medical and Dental coverage only applies to treatment received during the trip. If a traveler waits until they return home to address the issue, such as scheduling a root canal, the cost of that procedure would not be reimbursed under the travel protection plan. Seeking care promptly while still traveling is essential to qualify for coverage.

How to File a Dental Claim

To file a claim for emergency dental expenses, travelers should:

1. Obtain documentation from the treating provider, including diagnosis and itemized billing.
2. Submit proof of payment and a detailed explanation of the incident.
3. Include travel itinerary and any other supporting documents requested by the claims department.

Travelers can begin the claims process by visiting our eClaims portal.
 

Our claims team evaluates each case based on the nature of the emergency and the timing of the treatment. Emergency dental care that is medically necessary and received during the trip can be eligible for coverage under the plan.
