BSDHT Indemnity Launched in 2016, BSDHT Indemnity is a new insurance policy developed especially for dental hygienists and dental therapists. Usually insurance policies include dentists, who typically have a higher exposure of risk and therefore increase the chances of a higher premium. This product aims to provide value for dental hygienists and dental therapists without compromising on cover. This bespoke policy has been designed by the BSDHT and Howden, a Chartered insurance broker with a specialist Care and Medical team.
