Any child who attends as a patient of Olive Tree Dental, that is not on an Olive Tree Membership Plan (or their parents are not on a membership) pays the “pay as you go prices” as per the Children’s Fee Guide.
Any child 10 years old and above can be on a Mini Picholine Olive Tree Membership without their parents and will access the complimentary hygiene & examination after being on the membership plan for at least 3 months.
In the meantime, if a child/children have an emergency and are 10 or above they can claim a portion of the fee back on the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme* (providing they are on a Mini Picholine Membership Plan).
Any child under 9 or under has to be on a membership plan with a parent/carer to be able to take advantage of the membership benefits, however, cannot take advantage of the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme unless they opt to go on a Mini Picholine membership even if they are 9 or under to take advantage of the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme.
In exceptional circumstances where a carer has the responsibility of multiple children (under 10 or over 10) a tailored plan can be arranged so that the children are on a mini picholine membership on an annual basis despite their age depending on the nature of treatment that will be required, for further information please enquire within.
Every parent that is on either; Picholine, Castelvetrano or Cerignola Membership can benefit from the family addition that is relevant to the membership they are on. A parent can add on One child 9 years old or younger, to benefit from 2 child exams annually or 2 children can be added to a membership benefiting from one child exam each annually. The decision is up to the discretion of the parent on how to utilise the benefits to suit her family’s needs.
Children 9 or younger that are an add-on, to a Picholine, Cerignola or Castelvetrano membership can benefit from pay-as-you-go fees on the Children’s Fee Guide, minus 10% discount as their parent is on a membership plan.
If a parent/carer wants children to benefit from up to 30% off fees then the child/children need to be on a mini picholine membership at £11 / month regardless of their age.
*30% discount will only be applied after the initial first examination & hygiene have been completed and the patient has been added to a parent/carer membership and is deemed dentally fit.
If a parent is a member and would like to use the membership benefits and book their child for an initial new patient exam the first membership fee needs to have been processed prior to them booking in their child for an appointment. This payment is taken on the 8th of every month.
If a dentist assesses your child and feels like hygiene is not suitable for your child due to any periodontal issues or otherwise, they will advise you that hygiene is not suitable and therefore this treatment will not be administered it is at the dentist’s sole discretion. No other alternative treatment may be offered.
Family additions cannot be carried over to the following year when renewing a 12-month contract. The family addition benefits apply to a 12-month term only.
