To be in a car accident can be rather traumatic. Not only does it affect your vehicle but also has an impact on your life and health. If you’ve been in a situation and need dental care, you may qualify for Transport Accident Commission (TAC) dental claims. It provides financial support for dental treatments needed in such cases. Understanding how TAC dental claims work can help you get the care you need after an accident.
