Children are more likely to face dental issues due to:

🍭 High Sugar Consumption: Did you know that 1 in 2 children worldwide suffers from cavities by age 12? Too many sugary snacks and drinks can quickly lead to tooth decay.
🤕 Accidents and Injuries: Kids are active and playful, making them prone to falls and dental trauma.
🪥 Poor Dental Hygiene in Teens: Many teenagers neglect brushing and flossing, leading to serious dental problems.

🛡 What Does National Insurance Cover for Children’s Dental Care?
Basically, NHI covers the treatment itself (caries, nerve canals, gums), metal fillings and light fillings (GI) are also covered; for children under 12, even light fillings are partially covered.


While South Korea’s national health insurance covers a lot, here’s why private dental insurance is still essential:

💰 Earn More Than You Spend:
If your child has multiple dental issues, private insurance can give you a bigger financial return. Example: You pay 200,000 KRW for 3 light-cured fillings (treatment included) but receive 500,000 KRW in payouts from private insurance! 🤑
👑 Crown Coverage:
In severe cases, children may need crowns, which are NOT covered by national insurance.With our private dental policy, you can receive up to 400,000 KRW for one crown installation.
