Toothfairy report: The benefits blind spot

This report considers the current landscape of UK dental benefits, why organisations offer them, and the impact of poor dental access on productivity, engagement and wellbeing.

Many employers may not see a strong return on investment or high usage from traditional dental benefits, which are typically structured as costly opt-in schemes or
add-ons to Private Medical Insurance and can create heavy administrative burdens. 

Toothfairy’s Benefits Blind Spot report addresses that gap by showing how reframing dental care from a fringe perk into a core strategic element of an Employee Value Proposition can boost productivity, retention, and overall workforce wellbeing.

  • 45% of UK employers offer no dental provision at all
  • Among those, 21.9% say dental simply isn't viewed as a strategic priority, despite sitting directly behind the very initiatives they are prioritising 
  • 92% believe that dental absence would have a negative impact on their business operations
  • 3 in 4 employers who do offer dental are frustrated with their current model, citing rising treatment costs, administrative burden and low engagement.
