Is cosmetic dental work eligible for sick pay?

I wouldn't think so because sick pay only covers days that you're sick! And having cosmetic surgery is not considered ill health. Alhough you won't be fit for work following treatment, you are technically not ill, in the sense that you are ill as a result of the treatment (which is regarded as voluntary treatment and not essential treatment). Your only option is to use you holiday entitlement to cover the days you will be off recovering from the treatment.Is cosmetic dental work eligible for sick pay?
Depends on your employer. But in most cases, no. Any cosmetic enhancement is the choice of the patient and is not covered by insurance nor sick pay.Is cosmetic dental work eligible for sick pay?
Just call in sick the day you are having your dental work done. They will give you sick pay for this. Just keep your mouth shut. Don't them what you are actually doing.
you have got no chance.
no because it voluntary.
Only if its medically required...if you are doing it of your own free will and its not a medical requirement for your better healthy then no.
no i have not heard that it is.
just don't tell them its cosmetic!





say you need root canal surgery and that they sorted out some cosmetic treatment at the same time if anyone asks
i don't think it is why don't you ask your dentist he might be of some help.
Hi. I'm only a dental student so i would check this out with your dentist first. However, i think that the only way to get free cosmetic dentistry is if your teeth are considerably ';deformed/bad'; and this is causing you a lot of stress and you can prove that it is affecting your self-confidence and making you depressed. It is very hard to persuade the NHS that this is the case and so they will usually only pay for dental treatment that is absolutely necessary to prevent bad oral healthcare. However, i would talk with your dentist first as this is a very hard question to answer without first having your teeth checked by a qualified professional dentist who is on the Dental Register. Your dentist will know all about this topic and will know what to do.
That's really up to your HR department, different companies have different policies.
Doubt it. I would take leave if you think you will need a recovery period.
