National Friendly, a leading UK-based mutual financial services provider, is proud to celebrate the first anniversary of its innovative Friendly Shield policy. To mark this milestone, the company has announced an exciting new addition: Friendly Dentist+, a specially designed dental support service that will be offered to all new Friendly Shield members starting immediately.
Understanding the Friendly Shield Milestone
Launched just one year ago, Friendly Shield has rapidly gained a reputation as a cost-effective, comprehensive policy aimed at providing financial security during times of illness or injury. Combining the trusted ethos of mutuality with modern insurance products, Friendly Shield helps members feel safe and supported when they need it most.
With this first anniversary, National Friendly is reinforcing its commitment to holistic well-being by expanding the benefits package to include dental health—a vital component often overlooked in traditional policies.
Introducing Friendly Dentist+: A New Dental Support Program
Friendly Dentist+ is an exclusive dental support add-on, providing new Friendly Shield members with access to affordable dental care, preventive treatments, and expert advice. This initiative reflects National Friendly’s dedication to comprehensive care, enabling members not only to protect their finances but also to maintain good dental health without the stress of unexpected costs.

Why Dental Health Matters in Financial Protection Plans
Most insurance plans focus solely on illness or accident cover, often neglecting dental care, which is a critical factor in overall health and well-being. Untreated dental problems can lead to severe complications, increased healthcare costs, and missed workdays.
Integrating dental support within the Friendly Shield package shows National Friendly’s forward-thinking approach, addressing a common gap and offering members a more rounded, preventive, and supportive experience.
