Are mouthguards covered?

Absolutely! We understand that mouthguards (while participating in sport) are vitally important in helping to prevent dental injuries. This is why we include "Dentist-fitted sports mouthguards" on all our levels of Extras Cover, provided they're billed as item number #151 Provision of mouthguard or #153 Bimaxillary Mouthguard by your dentist. From 1 January 2026, our HIF Choice Network will give our members access to 100% back on one mouth guard each year, as well as a range of other preventative dental services1. Benefits are payable based on your level of cover up to our set maximum benefit.

If you need to claim for a second mouth guard within the same calendar year, a lower set maximum benefit will apply.
