Unlike traditional health insurance, MO is member-led. Our members don’t pay expensive premiums or hefty excesses. Instead, membership fees go into one shared pot.


And if something goes wrong, or they need to see a doctor, they can simply dip into that pot of cash to pay for their treatment, using their MO Mastercard.


It means our members are empowered to choose the care they need, on their terms, anywhere in the world. If you are a MO member, you can walk into any dentist that accepts MO and pay for your treatment with your MO Mastercard. No ifs, buts, or maybes.


MO.health. It's a little bit revolutionary. Collective health cover for teams.

Questions to Ask When Choosing a New Dentist

When choosing a dentist, you must take your time and consider your options rather than settling for the practice closest to your location.

To prevent settling for a substandard surgery, you should assess various factors, including staff qualifications, cleanliness, and equipment. When considering a dentist, you should ask the following:

  • What are their credentials? What additional training has been undertaken? Are the staff undergoing continued learning?
  • Do they use up-to-date technology and equipment?
  • Does the surgery appear clean and hygienic? Do the staff wear gloves and protective gear when conducting treatment?
  • What are the opening hours?
  • Do they offer emergency appointments?
  • Do they cater to nervous patients?
  • Do they have good reviews on Google?
  • Do they cater to NHS and Private patients?

Remember, it is recommended not to choose a dentist solely because it is close to you, one person has recommended it, or because it seems inexpensive. Take the time to assess practices, so you can be confident you have picked a dental surgery that genuinely cares for your oral and overall health.
