Professional liability insurance for early-career dentists

For professional liability, you’ll need to make an important choice between “claims-made” and “occurrence” coverage. We can walk you through the differences, pros and cons, so you feel confident in your decision. Also, we’ll connect you with industry-leading professional liability and disability insurance companies.

Choosing an insurance and risk management advisor

While we hope you’ll select Risk Strategies for your insurance needs, we recognize there are other choices. Here are a couple of consumer guidelines to protect your interests:

Beware of anyone who only offers coverage from one company. They may have an agenda.
Avoid buying professional liability insurance from anyone who can’t or won’t explain the difference between “claims-made” and “occurrence” coverage.
