What happens to your financial security when you can't practice dentistry?

For most dental professionals, income protection represents the cornerstone of financial planning, yet it remains riddled with costly mistakes that could leave you vulnerable precisely when you need support most. In this eye-opening conversation with independent financial advisor Luke Hurley, we dissect the five critical errors dentists consistently make with their protection policies – and provide clear, actionable solutions to fix them.

We start by challenging the dangerous mindset that income protection can be postponed. As Luke powerfully states, "Ensuring your future self will never be cheaper than ensuring your today self." Delaying coverage not only increases premium costs but risks accumulating health-related exclusions or even becoming uninsurable. Regular reviews around career transitions prove equally essential, especially when purchasing practices, switching between NHS and private work, or establishing limited companies.

The discussion delves into the complexities of aligning protection with various dental income structures. Whether self-employed, operating through limited companies, or employed, different insurers handle income verification distinctly – potentially leaving dangerous gaps in coverage. We explore the critical importance of appropriate deferment periods, coverage definitions, premium guarantees, and inflation protection to ensure your policy delivers when needed most.

Perhaps most crucially, we examine how complete transparency during underwriting prevents future claim denials and how income protection should integrate with critical illness coverage, life insurance, and increasingly, private medical insurance to create comprehensive financial security.
